I see ads for repop rear leaf springs for B bodies.
Does anybody know if they do fit my 73 Satellite wagon??
Mine are bagged out and the air shocks are just a Band-Aid until I do replace the springs.
If I have to, I can get rid of the isolators and use the 71-72 shock plates. I am planning on upgrading the front K frame to solid mounts anyways.
Thanks in advance.

Get more info from ESPO springs and things
I've bought a few sets of springs from them over the years.
I was very happy with the quality
I believe your spring segment might be different than a two door B body

I went with ESPO 12 yrs ago for my wagon. I got the 1" over stock (now it sits level).

The originals were so bad that 1" over was more like 6" over compared to how it sat with the originals.

I'd use them again.

As an aside, before I bought my ESPO's, I had a set of good springs off a factory big block 4dr I tried. In the 4dr, the car sat level. In the wagon, the car fell straight to the bump stops.

The wagon springs are unique, as in more load capacity.

Go with ESPO, I've researched and will be ordering the springs for my 72 wagon from them.
