Anybody have a link for new leaf springs for a 72 blazer. Stock height? My local shop wants $1400 for all 4. Not sure they are getting replaced yet but thought I would at least price them out.

Thanks

I was just looking at them on line and was getting ready to ask if anyone had any experience using them. Thanks for posting the links. Price look reasonable

I bought a 4” Tuff Country lift from them years ago and was satisfied.

I just got a Tuff Country lift from them. They are legit and helpful. But order now. You will be waiting for a while due to the shortage on things.

After looking at mine a bit better I am just going to install new bushings for now. They may get updated at a later date but the truck was sitting pretty level b4 the tear down

I just replaced the bushings in the forward front leaf springs. I got them from a very reputative company, and they look exactly the same, but the center pins where the bolts go through are 3 and 5/8 inches long. The original size for my 70 Blazer are 3 and 1/2. Doesn't sound like much, but I had to grind them down before they would fit back into the bracket.

I used energy suspension bushings and everything fit like a glove.
