Question:

Second one Ive owned and the suspension with the slipper springs is horrible and bounces all over. Before I put this one together Id like to see whats needed to change the slipper to a shackle type with double eye springs to try and help smooth it out some. Could you suggest replacement parts needed to replace the slipper spring CNT-T3B with something better?

Expert Reply:

Basically you would need to replace the rear hanger with a double eye style hanger, use a shackle strap and then get the appropriate leaf spring. The lightest capacity spring we have is the part # e84SR which you referenced.

For the price the best option is to just replace all of the hangers and use the kit part # APS1 which comes with everything you'd need and would work great.
