Re: leaf springs

Look close for any cracked leafs in the spring pack.
Pitting and rust near the shackle. I dunno, it's kind of a judgment call. My rear spring eyes had some pitting and scale on them, but when I cleaned them up it wasn't that bad. My shackles and mounts were much worse.
Website- you might want to check the yellow pages. A local truck spring shop had the same prices without the shipping cost, plus the face-to-face when I forgot something.

Depending on your budget and truck usage, I wouldn't rule out the local wrecker either.

I'm kinda like duct tape- no real purpose, but handy to have around.
