I just put a new lift in with blocks in the rear end. Unfortunately, my driver side leaf spring just failed. Instead of installing lifted leafs, I was going to go with the cheaper option of stock size. I was wondering if someone had input of where to buy new stock sized leafs. I looked for a while but couldn't find any non-lifted ones.

 

why not get some used ones at a junkyard

 

63 chevy spring swap!!!

 

I've read a few posts about them giving out a couple months after being installed, I kinda wanted to avoid that. Or should I not really worry about it?

 

sky jacker aftermarket leaves are cheaper than going the oem route

and they do ride softly with a 4 inch lift

that is the route i would have gone if were they not so expensive up here

they were actually more expensive up here than ford factory leaves

the only downside with oem ford leaves , you cannot delete the lift blocks though

 

Ford Explorer leafs.

What size is your lift block? If its around 3 inches you can get away with a Ford Expo leaf pack and not need the block anymore. Click THIS to read more on how I and several other Ranger owners have solved our saggy and bad riding rear ends.

 

But aren't junk leaf springs a lot more likely to break than new ones? If junkyard ones worked fine for a long time than I am more than fine with looking for them (obviously all are different but still)

 

Your springs broke because of the lift block. It adds more stress on the leaf because now the axle wants to twist, instead of just going up and down with a bump. The junkyard springs that I got have an extra leaf in them, and are much much stiffer. Even if the truck I got them from had 120k on it.

 

expo leafs FTW! trust me ive got em.
