i noticed the other day both front spring packs are missing a friction pad in the same spot. these are tuff country springs. were can a find replacements? whats a good way to retain them? i think they fell out while flexing the suspension. thanks
 
I bought mine locally at a truck spring shop, they were about 75 cents a piece. I roughed up the bottom of them a bit with some sandpaper and wiped them with alcohol and used a dab of silicon caulk to help hold them in (it doesn't take much caulk, or you will have a big mess... don't ask how I know :blush: ). It's worked good so far.
 
hmmm, well im a block away from deaver spring, i guess i should hit them up
