front springs

84 k10. original front springs were 2 leaf. I replaced them bout 3 years ago. I think they are bad again. They take a lot of abuse on the dirt and logging roads where I hunt. I see General Spring has 2,3 and 4 leaf. should I try a 3 leaf or go straight to 4?
Thanks

Looking into a 52" spring swap. That might be the ticket

Easy to do too. That will give you 4" of cushiness lol.

I read that that bracket swap would put the diff 2” forward? Would that make much of a difference?
