RE: Leaf Springs

[Tom Duross <tduross1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with the below.  I had mine re-arched but it was a barn-find with
35K.  They looked great just really sagged.  3 years and zero problems, same
bumper height last year as when I had them done.  I know with bumpers,
you're best off restoring originals, I thought the same for springs at the
time.
Good luck.
Tom



Dittoes on Espo or Eaton, as well as re-building yours.

Do not bother with the latter idea if they are pitted or otherwise in poor
shape.

The cold re-arcing will not work and your springs will soon return to their
bad "memory".

If they are OK, then re-using them is definitely cheaper.

It also may be that only your top or bottom spring is badly pitted.

A good truck spring shop can make you the replacements you need and re-arc
your good ones.

Not a bad way to go either if you want to save some $$$$.
