1980 liqfire rear springs

Post by merctt »

Just wondering if the rear suspension springs on my 1980 liquidfire are the same as the springs on a 1980-84 trailfire ? The reason i ask is i can get springs for a trailfire through shade tree, but for the liqfire they dont have a part number to order. just wondering if they were the same. thanks for your help.

You can add spring helpers....which are sold on ebay. Image may have the helpers as well.

The go between the spring and the rear arm to add more tension.
