    I need to purchase new leaf springs for my 07 and I do not know which to buy and where. My truck bottoms out easily and I see now its due to a weak leaf spring which has been gone over a lot on this site because of the TSB that's out. What I need to know is which to buy to replace them? I searched and couldn't find a clear answer. Any help is greatly appreciated.


    Thanks
    Shawn

    Are your current springs flat, or frowning over the axle? You may be able to run an AAL set if the springs are still in good shape.

    If they are just flat, then they are still in pretty good shape, and you can run an aal. I would suggest the 3 leaf progressive style. Rides, and performs the best.

    Are you talking about something like this? What would you suggest in addition to the AAL to level the front?

    Ride quality has went down drastically and they are very squeaky so I was assuming just replacing was the best option.

    Someone at work suggested using a add a leaf. I guess I seen that as just a band-aid but I'm not an expert on that subject. This is the first truck I've owned..

    Look into Alcan, Deaver or allpro, they all make good leaf packs.

    Old man emu or ironman leaf pack both are good and but it gives you about 2.25 inches of lift. If you carry weight or tow these are good all around packs.

    I tow a 17' boat almost every weekend but I wouldn't call it much of a load. Occasionally a 22' bay boat. Other than that I do not carry much.

    I'm not looking for much lift either.. I run 265/75/16 bfg AT tires and that size is plenty for my needs. I go off roading sometimes but never do anything that stock height isn't enough for..

    I plan to buy some 5100 shocks so I could deal with a kit that I would still be able to use those shocks to level the truck out..

    Just checked my springs and they are frowning over the axle.. :/

    Which leaf springs will keep me close to stock right height? And where to buy?

    Are they all relative in price with the OME springs? I think I found them for $400ish plus shipping..

    We have a HD pack available. You would need to remove 1 leaf out of each pack to bring it down to about 1.5" if you don't have any constant loads.

    If you are not wanting much lift, then a 3 leaf aal set would be the best bet. Since your springs are already sagging, they will bring you up about 1-1.5" over where it currently sits.
