Re: Painting leaf springs
I used Slip Plate to paint mine. Its a teflon impregnated paint. It is super slick and pretty durable. I used that and replaced the plastic buttons on the ends and used spacers in the center between the leaves from a later model chevy truck. I did my jeep like this a few years ago it has held up great and still rides incredibly well.
