Leaf spring sources

[thebird00]

I'm currently running a 12 inch superlift lift. I would like to do a 56 inch spring swap front and rear using 4 inch lifted springs. This would bring me down to an 8 inch lift.

Where would I start looking for these springs or am I better off just buying them new?

Also does anybody have the spring rate chart of different company's springs? I thought I saw something like that posted here before.

Thanks, Mark

Check the classifieds here or ebay. You will probably end up buying new springs.

Here's the chart.

Would the Tuff Country springs be too soft for minimal road driving? The HD's look like they may be the best of both worlds.

DEAVER springs are another good spring company, They did wonders for my K-5. They can build anything you want given the weight,size and lift you want.

Aren't those Deavers pretty expensive? I had remembered also that some folks run the BDS Springs.

Do I need to worry about axle wrap or road manners?

There seems to be alot of threads on or around this subject, but it would be nice to have them all in one spot, especially the ones with good info.

Yea they cost a lot but,the ride they give is well worth it. big diff from SUPERLIFTS.

This truck sees very little road time. I suppose a good riding spring would also equal a good flexing one too though.

BDS is good, that's what was on mine.
