need rear leaf springs...

anyone recently buy a pair of new rear leafs? last time i checked someone stopped making them so jc whitney and others were out and other shops were on back order. wanted to get a pair to swap out thanksgiving weekend. thanks in advance

 

I got 4 leafs springs from espo about 3 months ago. Great people and fast turn around time. http://www.springsnthings.com/

 

I got a pair from here and like them. They have fairly competitive prices too.

...And there's always Big F'in Van springs.

 

If I hadn't already bought all my springs, I would have tried this.

 

That's what I was thinking.

 

hey facelessnumber, which leafs did you grab? i used the stock mav one that has the ends connected to the car and replaced the other two with ones on the van stack that were close to the same length. now my car is harder in the rear but sits lower? The stock ones did not have any cracks but apparently are weak? i am thinking of adding one more back in to see if it raises and am wondering which ones of the stack you used? or i could use the van one that is almost as long as the "mounting" spring and see if that helps.....

 

I will most likely be doing this, Since I'm going to pull the rear out anyways and I know I want to replace the rears. I think I want the mad max look so probably 5 for me

Thanks for the idea!

 

I used the two longest van leafs, and the stock Maverick main leaf. The second leaf is almost as long as the main leaf. I chose to do that because I didn't want the stock main leaf to bear too much of the weight. The pic below shows the height that configuration got me before I added the lowering blocks. You can easily get this setup to go as high as you want it. You're pretty much only limited only by how long your u-bolts and center pins are.

 

thanks again, i will probably try adding them this weekend and let you know....
