    Looking to replace my leaf springs!

    what should I get and a link would be great!

    I have a 96 single cab stock. Putting on 5100’s all around and leveling it out.

    I don’t want my rear too stiff.

    thanks!

    For stock height springs, your options are fairly limited, but general springs (link above) seem to be the go to unless you're desperate to sell a kidney and get the OEM ones.

    Just be sure to get the right year springs. Don't quote me there, but I think 98 they changed the springs.

    I have the general stock replacements. They’re ok. Mine were a nice improvement because the originals were pretty flat. They’re a good budget option not performance
