Rear Leaf Springs - no lift

I have 185k on my '14 and the rear leafs are sagging. There seem to be a bazillion options for HD and + a few inches leafs. What is the best replacement for factory at a reasonable price? Just want to keep it "stock" for another 100k.

 

Yes I’m adding my name here to know this answer. 220k stock as far as I know, don’t want to add any height

 

Best bet may be to find a low mileage pair of OEM take offs. People on here always seem to swap out their entire suspension for a lift with less than 10k miles on original components

 

I was lucky and was able to find, though FB marketplace, OEM UCAs, coils, and leafs for 250. Less than 1k miles.

 

Can’t beat oem when it comes to keeping truck height and geometry stock

 

I sometimes see 3rd gen leaf springs with a add a leaf for sale. I bought one as my first setup. Think it was like $200 on Craigslist. Just have to look around. It lifted the truck about an inch and also made it a little “stiffer”. It wasn’t bad but the stock are little to soft for me.

 

FWIW, last year I "upgraded" the worn out suspension on my'15 with a complete take-off suspension from a '20 OR with just few thousand miles on it. Within 8 months, the rear springs are already flat with very little use of any weight in the bed. You might try some spring shops to have a replacement pack made.

 

X2 on finding a local spring shop.

 

I’ve also heard good things about the dobinsons springs, but I don’t think they have a stock height option.

Personally I’m going eventually either go with a local shop or icon rxt pack to compensate for the weight of my cap (~200lbs) and keep the ride height stock. With the weight of the cap my truck is level or sagging with TSB leafs. No rake to be found

 

General spring?

 

It may have just been my typical bad luck, but I got their HD set and after a year and a half and about 20k mi they started creaking and crunching like crazy when the suspension articulates. Front leaf eye bushings were totally shot after that time as well. Replaced the bushings with poly, but that wasn't the problem.

I can't recommend them.

 

What about replacement springs on a site like rockauto? I'm in the same boat but with a 2007 I'm looking to do a stock suspension refresh (no lift).

 

Someone already suggested it, but look for someone that replaced their OEM leaf pack to give it a lift. I'm one such person and still have the TSB leaf springs I took off. They're still in good shape but I would have to check how many miles I put on them before replacing. Leaf packs are heavy to ship so a local deal would be preferred.

I live in Ohio but will be travelling to MN for Fourth of July if you are interested and can wait that long!
