leaf spring replacment teflon pads.
I am converting to 52" front springs. I disassembled my spring pack to inspect and clean them up. The stock teflon pads are real worn down. Are these needed? and where do you get replacements?
Thanks!

Re: leaf spring replacment teflon pads.
I asked my spring shop and they said that they don't mess with putting them back in... we'll see how squeeky it is...

Re: leaf spring replacment teflon pads.
They recomend them for more articulation and travel.
UHMW (ultra high molecular weight) works good too and is cheaper. You can buy it in sheets and cut your own.

Re: leaf spring replacment teflon pads.
Skyjacker makes them. You can buy them at 4wheelparts.com and many other places. I'm sure there are other manufacturers also.
