I got a broken leaf on my left rear leaf spring 80 C10 LWB (Big Ten) a total of 6 leafs counting the large bottom one. I checked LMC and the 6 leaf is $329.00 each, but the 5 leaf is $119.95. Should I swap both rear springs and save some $$ or will It be a disappointment. The previous owner has lowered the truck what looks to be 2.5" in the front , and 4" in the rear. It is not slammed to the ground but it is very level. I kept hitting bumps and getting jarred around. Took a look and found a broken leaf F%@$ Me is all I could think!!!! Any suggestions or advice on what route to go? Thanks.
