Teflon leaf liner

[madtrixter]

Hi all, I;m new here and have a question. I have searched leaf spring posts for a few days now and can't seem to find where to get leaf liners. I'm looking for the full length ones with the lips (looks like I beam). The local spring shops aren't giving me any info. I have even searched pages and pages on three different search engines.

I was wondering if anyone has ordered this stuff online, and if so, where?

thanks for the help

Try here under Poly-Slide. http://www.sachserodshop.com/catalog/P.htm There was another place I can't recall the name of, but they stopped carrying the 2.5" liner with a lip anyway. Try to get the liner with the edge lips.

I've been there already...sachs only carries to 2 1/4.

If anyone would be willing to get me info from their local spring shop that carries this stuff, I would be much abliged. Oh, 2 1/2 width with edges is what I'm lookin for.

Thanks

fwiw, i ordered some from speedway motors. its a street rod place..it doesnt have the lip like I wanted it to, but it got the job done. Its the trim to fit kind. Its a bit of a PITA to work with, but not bad.

I ahve a 26' piece of 2.5" double I beam leaf liner left. 50.00 shipped to who ever wants it. ( I used 24' to do mine now.)

Talk to Goatman, I think. I believe he'd have an idea where to go cuz if I'm remembering correctly he uses it in his leafs.

dude that stuff only goes to 2 1/4" and only lipped on one side. you need the stuff that is lipped on both sides

How many leaves in your packs?

Ok, I'm relatively new to the XJ world as well. What function do the liners provide? Noise and friction reduction? Or what?

so i'm resurrecting this thread.


this teflon leaf liner is a sweet idea and all because a good leaf pack is smooth. yada yada.



what about putting in sheets of teflon that have a thickness between each leaf to get more lift? i was thinking of getting some sheet teflon at like 3/16" thick to put between my leafs to get cheap lift and smoothness. 5 sheets stacked up nets almost an inch of lift... a friend of mine mentioned he did it on some old car of his but i was wondering if anyone hear had heard of doing this and if so how well it worked (before i bought anything)

Deaver sells it, you have to ask, its not on their site. They sell it in 100' rolls, enough for 2 vehicles and it is about a dollar a foot.
