Default Re: Melex 212 Refurb

I did not plan on going as large as 20" tires, but after these comments, why not. I contacted an spring repair shop for automobiles and they can add a leaf to the springs for about $35, I thought this would provide added strength/support as I want to add a seat on the back, then put on new shocks on t he back and see if I can add a pair to the front. I am expecting that doing this will add some lift and the improved suspension will give a better ride. While the springs are off I may see if the repair shop can make me some blocks to get a 3"or4" lift, front and back. The only concern I have then is replacing the old tie rods in the front. They seem worn out, rattle a lot and the steering is a little loose.
