LMC Leaf Springs for K10

Hey all,

The main leaf on the front passenger side of my 1966 K10 is broken. My options are:

1: Order new leaf springs from LMC.

2: Have a local spring shop build me new packs.

LMC is definitely the more affordable option, so how are their springs? Has anyone used them?

Did you check General Spring? LMC doesn't make them. They say Made In USA so they get them from someone in the US.

You can check out these guys too, they make them. They have the blueprints for the original springs. https://www.eatondetroitspring.com/

General Spring has been out of stock since I got the truck in May.

My local spring shop is rebuilding my packs. New main leaves, new bushings, re-arch. Plus if it sits weird, they will fix it.
