★ Heavy duty 10-leaf version with military surplus quality, ideal for restorations requiring restoration of original ride height and load capacity.
Application
These 10-leaf front springs were fitted to various jeep models, including the French Hotchkiss M201 (1955-1966). The heavy duty version is suitable for vehicles with heavier loads or off-road use.
Installation notes
2 front springs are required per vehicle (left and right). When fitting, check all mounting points, shackles and rubber buffers for wear. New springs provide approximately 25-50 mm additional height compared to sagging original springs, returning the jeep to standard ride height. Lubricate all pivot and hinge points before fitting.
Compatibility
Note: 10-leaf springs have the same arc as 8-leaf springs but offer greater load capacity. Both types sit at the same ride height. Choose 10-leaf for heavier loads or towing work, 8-leaf is sufficient for standard use. Bushings are not included and vary by model.
Historical context
The Hotchkiss M201 was the standard light reconnaissance vehicle of the French army from 1955 into the 1980s. Between 1955 and 1966, Hotchkiss produced 27,628 examples, initially from American parts and later fully manufactured in France at Stains near Paris.
