Product Description
The Ridetech 11534898 Steel Leaf Spring replaces the factory single-leaf rear spring on 1963–1982 Corvettes with a 9-leaf design rated at 175 lb./in., stepping up to 225 lb./in. once the overload leafs engage. This cuts body roll noticeably while still keeping a comfortable ride, and the included side shims handle both leaf spring widths used across the C2/C3 production run.
This \"leaf and shims only\" version is meant for owners who already have bushings and the lowering bolt hardware on hand, or who plan to pair it separately with Ridetech\'s bolt/bushing kit. For a one-box solution with everything included, the Complete Kit (SKU 11534899) bundles the same spring with bushings and hardware.
