Wanted Leaf Springs
- Thread starter ‘89Jimmy
- Start date
I have a fresh take off of three leaf fronts from my 90 burb. Central tx.
Could be 3. I may have a 2 leaf set, out of a k20 burb. If i do they haven't been in a truck since the mid 90s
I have some two-leaf stockers out of my ‘90 burb.
What part of utah you in? I’m driving to Beaver from Vegas this Saturday.

If you plan to keep it . Just buy a pair of new 3 leaf pack . Our newest stock is 40+ years old .
I have used these guys a few times good results .

Replacing mine due to major sagging. Going with a 4" lift.
That’s a great idea. I’m definitely going to keep it for years to come, but I’m not 100% sold on stock height. Wanted to try it out for a bit to see if I like it better than the 2” rough country kit I bought it with. Ultimately, I’m trying to get a controlled and compliant ride on 33’s.
There first problem rough country = about hardest ride springs for our trucks .
I would do 3leaf like i showed and a set of zero rates and bilstien shocks for a good start close to what you have but better ride .

I redid a guys truck from rough country 6" all spring to a mix of stock replacment / tuff country / and lift parts from ORD . When he drove it home he was blown away . And there is even better options out there for better ride .
Man the 2.5 skyjackers are like a 425 spring rate. Pretty pleasing to a small block blazer.
I've heard really good things about the Tuff Country EZ rides. Greg's Restorations built one some years ago that I'm ultimately trying to loosely replicate, and I believe they used Tuff Country on Bilsteins.
Good to know. I called Rough Country about the one I have, and they said theirs was a 294 spring rate. Jury's out as to whether I believe them still...lol
Greg's said they used 2.5 Skyjacker according to the link you posted. right call on the shocks
Hey, I have a full set of OG Blazer springs still on the truck if you are interested.
Have you checked your local junkyards? Might find what you need
Hey you’re pretty close! I think I’d be interested. What would you like for them?
Not real thoroughly. It’s been wet and rainy lately. One of them doesn’t distinguish between K5s and S15s. Got snaked by them once already.
