    Thanks!

    when I first got my wagon,the rear end sat too high,so I put some springs had left over from my 70 Monty, then it sat just a little too low for my comfort, so now I've got new ones that are just right for me, I can measure the total hight of the old ones if you like,and compare it to yours
    if you like, james..:puzzled:

    Marvin ,
    I took my springs out and measured them, I found a set on ebay
    that were the size I was lookiing for,are you trying to lower your wagon?
    if so how much,( the ones of my monty will lower it from 2 to 2.1/2'') I wanted my wagon to set level thats what I meant when I said that they were just right. you also have to check the dia. of the spring, the thicker the harder they will ride. james..

    Here's a pic of the Wagon. You can see how much higher it is in the back.
    Let me know what you think.
    Thanks again!

    Marvin, mine was just like yours when first got it, how mush do want to lower it? if you want it level , try some from a car,cause when I went to
    the parts store, they kept trying to sell me just like the ones I had,thats
    why I took the new ones off my monty and they were just right, so I
    just another set off ebay that were the same height as those off the monty,but if want to go lower then level you can try the first set I ran
    which were just a little to low for me, if you want to try them send me
    your address and I'll send them to you, if they work just pay me $600.00each:pray: :pray: ,just kidding :grin: just pay shipping..james..
