Leaf Springs?

[collegekid]

What size leaf springs do you guys suggest to optimize ride quality, but also give me a little bit of a lift, tire size btwn 33-"35". Im getting into my 2wd to 4wd conv, and am going to replace the OEM front leaves with something different, just need some advice from those who know or have done before

deaver is the only company to use americans steel and they custom make the springs for your personally. i just got some made for me a little bit expensive but they really stand behind there springs. if you want pictures or questions let me now

Alcan is also a good company for custom soft ride springs.

I can agree with you that for the price these do ride nice....BUT they sag horribly. They sag from the engine weight in the front and when pulling or loaded with anything they sag in the back. I would not recommend these to anyone.

Im thinking about just leaving the stock springs and doing a 5" drop shackle

Don't do shackles or blocks save your bucks for springs - do it one time and do it right.

when i had deaver make my spring i spent al little extra money for them to make the lift with all spring and no blocks or shackles
