    Looking for a spring / suspension shop in the Bay area (preferably on the peninsula) that could help me replace a broken leaf. I'm having a hard time finding OEM height leaf springs for 95.5-97 2wd. Been driving with a broken leaf for way too long.. Since I'm on a tight budget, I'd be open to finding someone with a metal shop or even just a welder who can fab me up a replacement leaf. Or if anyone has some old stock 4x4 leafs that they'd be willing to donate or sell, I think I could make those work.

    Thanks for the offer, but I was told that 98+ leaf springs are longer and won't work on the 95.5-97s.

    That's fine. I was assuming they could be cut to length.
    Good luck!
