A couple of leaf springs cracked on the weekend, I just about passed out when I priced a replacement at the auto parts store. I'm driving an 86 chev
1/2 ton. A new spring bundle: $285. I called around to some wreckers, I managed to find a guy who says he thinks he has some, I'll have to come and rummage. He's almost an hour's drive away, but I guess I'll have to take the chance.I remember seeing an ad a couple of years ago for an aftermarket suspension stabilizing kit. I think it was on during a hockey game or perhaps it was "Home Improvement". Anyways, it showed some guy piling a huge amount of firewood in the box of his pickup, I'd guess at least 3 tons. Anyway, I don't remember the name of this product, does anyone know anything about it? Any opinions?
Should I just replace the cracked leaves, or should I replace the whole works? The truck's 20 years old, and if 2 go at once, I'm inclined to think the rest can't be far behind?
