Description
When one rear leaf spring is damaged or a custom suspension is being rebuilt, the correct individual component matters. Belltech 5979 is a direct-replacement-style rear leaf spring that the manufacturer sells by the each. This product does not include a second leaf spring and should never be mistaken for an axle-wide lowering kit.
The manufacturer describes the spring as an application-specific lowering component designed to maintain predictable spring response. The installed ride-height change depends on the specific suspension application and other modifications. Verify the intended stance with the part-number-specific fitment information rather than relying on nominal drop height alone.
Product features
- One rear replacement-style leaf spring; order two if a matching pair is required
- Belltech manufacturer part number 5979
- Designed for compatible lowered leaf-spring suspensions
- Bushing and installation-hardware requirements depend on the vehicle and supply configuration
Application and fitment
This leaf spring is vehicle-application-specific. Camaro, Firebird and Nova fitment requires a direct year-and-suspension check; compare spring dimensions, rear axle configuration, bushings and the intended ride-height change before ordering.
Package contents
One rear leaf spring only, not two springs, axle kit, shackles or shocks. Verify whether rubber bushings and installation hardware are supplied with the particular carton.
Match the full manufacturer part number and the specific installation requirements before ordering.
