How many leafs should I have
83' swb c10
How many leafs should be in stock rear leaf springs? Thanks Also the coils on my front coil sprigs are touching. like three coils are stacked. does that mean the PO heated them? |

Re: How many leafs should I have
1/2 ton pick ups have 3 different leaf set ups you have 4,6, and 8... your front coils sound like they are heated

Re: How many leafs should I have
how will you be able to know how many leafs your truck is to have. I need to find me a new set, I have 2 leafs and the overload. I want to get new ones to do a flip kit.

Re: How many leafs should I have
Mine has a total of 4. 3 thin ones and then a thick 4th one. I guess the rear is at least stock

Re: How many leafs should I have
I guess mine is the odd man out. I have 7 on the drivers side and 6 on the passenger side. I think a few were added by the PO.

Re: How many leafs should I have
If the coils are touching the PO heated them. Consider lowering springs from Summit Racing, or find a fresh set of stock ones and cut 1 to 1.5 coils off without excessive heat.
