Re: Where can I buy 1/2 front leaf springs

Yes - they are pretty flat when installed.

But - if you go with the three leaf setup it will help control front axle windup (and the resulting unintended steer inputs) during braking.

I would also recommend you run as much caster as possible once you go back together. Like 10 deg if you can. This will help with on center feel and straight line stability at highway speeds, especially if you have a short wheel base vehicle.
