The frame has been freshly powder coated but I have cleaned the surfaces to bare metal and even ground on the sides of the springs but cannot get the (non-shackle) end into the pocket. They seem to get tight after going about halfway in as if the ears on the pocket are tapered. Am I doing something wrong? Should I just grind more off the spring eye? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,441 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,441 | You've already voided any warranty so make em fit.ðŸ›

The eyes will grow in width when they are rolled, A reliable
spring shop will make sure they are the correct width and
rolled perpendicular to the leaf.
