Obviously my leaf springs are shot.

So. Suggestions? Should I AAL or completely get them replaced? What does something like this cost?

They actually don't look to bad, but any factory style pack will look the same or worse in a short time.you really need 4 leaves/overload to eliminate axle wrap.I bought standard packs from General spring and made a extra a leaf from the factory mainspring. I would suggest there HD pack or add Wheelers 3 leaf mini pack and ditch your overload.

 

Lol, damn typos.

Those yellow/blue shocks ... are they the original TRD Bilsteins? If so, they've gotta be dead too. AALs don't replace (meaning, "fix") worn springs. You should get springs if you've lost height.

That's clever! So, you save $50 over the cost of the HDs from General Spring, and recycle part of the old setup to create a spring stronger/taller than just the Standard set from them.

 

I'm assuming they are the original bilstiens. I've only owned the truck a year. At this point I think I'm going to completely replace the shocks all around and maybe the front springs too. As well as the leaf springs.

 

Build urself some...

Well, it wasn't the plan, but the standards settled in really fast and I started getting axle wrap within 500miles. So I measured and cut the mainspring, drilled the holes for the spacers (which was very tough)and added it as the the 3rd leaf. Ended up with 1" of lift or so and stiffen the pack up nicley.

 

What Doug (@4WD) said. You can save money and have fun at the same time. This really isn't that hard a project.

 

Good to see you & others are still banging the drum on this MOD....
