Got the OEM style with curled leafs.
Still have some work to do cleaning up around the pumpkin. Half shafts are a mess too, all from being over greased. Half shafts will get new u-joints and cleaned up too.
Fun work when you're holding a 40lb spring up with one hand while wiping sweat and swating skeeters with the other.

Now THAT'S how the rear spring arch should be! Not too much...not too flat...jess rite! 
Looks good, "Skeeter Swatter"!!
You think they're bad NOW(the skeeters), wait til this dam rain stops!
btw...if you're going for "original" in the looks department, the clamps on that spring should not be there, but they don't effect the operation of it.
(picky, ain't I ?!)

I don't think the rain is ever going to stop. 25 out of the last 28 days-RAIN!!!
I knew the clamp was not there on the original spring, and had asked Muskegon Brake if it should be removed from the new one, but they haven't answered my emails!!! GRRRRR!!!!
