Car Fix DIY Videos

Today I’m removing the rear axle and factory leaf springs, cleaning and repainting the axle, and reinstalling it along with some 3″ lowering leaf springs from Street Edge. The Street Edge leaf springs are a cheaper alternative to the Belltech leafs, and did not bolt on and fit right out of the box. So I’ll show how I modified them to make them work. Next time I’ll install the Mini-C notch in the frame!
