    I know there are hundreds, if not thousands of threads on rear leaf springs, however I just noticed this on both sides of my truck with TSB leafs. (See pics).
    Can anyone recommend replacement leafs?
    I'm not really looking for more load carrying or lift, just more or less stock performance.

    Thanks

    Some stuff...
    I went with Dakars replacement rear leafs but you may want to consider throwing in an AAL since you're not gonna be running a topper or hauling an excess load. I'm gonna be adding a topper and will be running a lotta gear in back, so that's why I went the route I did.......

    Thanks for the reply, I do actually have a topper, but very rarely haul any real weight.
    Now that I've calmed down a bit, based on some other threads I maybe best to check with a local spring shop to see what they can do.

    I was just surprised as the only time a really put any load on the rear spring is when I tow a snowmobile trailer and that's only about 1500ibs.

    umm

    That spring looks broken. The second leaf down should NOT be that far forward.

    General spring HD pack for an almost stock height replacement, Wheelers HD pack for a slight lift (1.5-2in)

    Dakars are stiff as shit, unless you constantly have 500Lbs in the bed dont go with them... and your looking at a solid 3.5in -4in lift with those especially with old saggy springs

    Dakars are 2 3/4" over stock on average
