What ever it takes!!
I weighed the stock leafs on the syclone @ 62lbs/ set.
Flexforms are 20lbs/set.
You save about 42lbs. total.

Re: Flexforms vs. stock sy leafs FYI
I wrapped the mounting pad area with rubber/ splicing tape to help protect from the U bolts.
Torqued the nuts to 50ft/lbs. with low mileage Bilstein shocks.

Re: Flexforms vs. stock sy leafs FYI
With the Caltracs,,,dosen't a part of the Caltrac actually hit the leafspring,during acceleration?
Wouldn't that cause a stress point where it hits?
Or am I thinking incorrectly?

it does come in contact with the forward part of the spring near the front mount. I normally wrap it with a piece of hose to soften this. it is far better than letting the flex o forms wrap up during a hard launch.

You can have them made for a lower truck (like I did)...don't need the blocks anymore.

$432 shipped.
864-261-7006 ask for Mark. ask for the 250lbs. rating springs. It will take about 4 weeks to get them. ( for me anyway).

Is Mark w/flexiform? Web link?
250 LB for a Syclone? I would like a 2" drop from stock height.
Thanks:tup:

Re: Flexforms vs. stock sy leafs FYI
Yes...Tell him you want the same springs Bruce just ordered.
250lbs is the strongest he makes/suggests...why take a chance on ordering a weaker rating?

BTW Tell Mark he needs to install a 2" bolt instead of the 1-3/4" bolt. So we can install the stock wedge back with the plastic shim. I had to go and buy new bolts to make them fit.
