Re: Looking to buy new leaf springs
I would search auto and truck springs in your phone book. I have a guy who specializes in springs and he re arcs mine and they last years. Ive never done a lowering project but ive heard the name Bell tech tossed around here alot i would check into them or google "lowering kit chevy pickup" and see what you come up with, and it aint gonna be cheap

Re: Looking to buy new leaf springs
I got mine from airbagit.com, 3"lowering and I hauled all kinds of stuff even a ton of shell a bunch of times. A set from there is like 190.00, I only ran mine 2 years, now there sitting in the garage collecting dust............maybe I should sell them?
