:howdy:Gary and Kelly. :thanku: for your replies. Gary, you stated 4.500". between hooks. The one I took off, even being stretched, is 3.500" between hooks. I rough measured the distance between the parking brake lever hole and the trans mount hole for the spring, and it is 9.250", this is with the parking brake lever in the locked position. I am totally confused. I realize this is a extension spring, but to stretch is twice its length? Also the new number is 83-2730.
