Need New Leafs
Need New Leafs
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.
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

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.
