Re: leafs for 1 ton
Look for “Springs” in the yellow pages of your phone book. They can rebuild your old springs (rearch, replace or add more leaves) or build new springs to whatever specifications you wish. This is usually much less expensive that buying new from a dealer.

 Absolutely--be just as good or better than new. they can add lift to it also if needed. I redid the springs on my tow truck and had them move the spring center back 1 1/2'' at the same time

Lookup Daytonparts, Stanley springs and see if they are close by. They had springs for my c30 SRW in stock.
