Re: Front leaf springs

The front's do have a negative arch. I'll browse through some old photos and see if I can find one that shows the springs. (please don't hold your breath, I'm on dial-up- this may take a while.)

I'm kinda like duct tape- no real purpose, but handy to have around.

Re: Front leaf springs

I don't have any pics, nor do I have access to the truck anymore.
Hitting the bumpstops, too soft. Hit up a junkyard or look in the classies to see if someone is parting one out.

The only time mine hit the bumpstops was with the plow on (or a big frost heave). I added 2 extra leaves per side to help with my plow weight. It did help, but was way to rough for daily driving. (with extra leaves, nose would only drop half-3/4 of an inch)
