leaf springs
I need new leaf springs. Where is a good place to order from and should i get a heavy duty set ? IM also getting ready to put on a 5/7 drop from western with the air bags in the rear for added support. For some reason the springs on my truck have 2 long and 1 short on the drivers side and on the passenger side there is 6 , 1 short and 5 long ones. IM not sure why that is? thanks steve

Re: leaf springs
do you have a truck spring place local... ive always had leafs rearced and add one or two leafs.... its alot cheaper than replacing the whole spring pack and just as efective

Re: leaf springs
If you're putting bags in the back, anyway, put new friction pads in and call it a day. What I would do is just make the ones you have match each other, put in new friction and buy beer with the money I saved.
Edit: I forgot to menion it sounds like you may have one 1/2 ton spring and one 3/4 ton.
