Hi all, the leafs on my drover are pretty flat so I've picked up some old stock springs with a bit more bend in em for 40 bucks. I want to buy new bushes and I'm just after some advice on what to get?
Also on the to front springs, the eyes on one end seem to be bent open a little, is this a problem?

IMO I wouldn't get carried away with fancy bushes for stock springs. Just reasonable quality ones that aren't too expensive.

As for the springs being bent I'm not sure, depends how much I guess?

Can you post a pic? Might help us have a better idea of the issue

Not sure what the problem is with flat springs? They work quite well that way and they come out the factory close to flat.

I wouldn't worry about them. Most of the time when we run OME springs we de rate them so they're basically flat anyway. There's bigger fish to fry than which way the springs sit at ride height.
