Replacement Leaf Springs 2002 2500HD

[jonathancasey19]

Best reputable place to buy replacement leaf springs factory height? I'm considering local junk yards as well. May not be a bad idea to go with new.

Thanks.

Look into Dreaver Springs.

IIRC, Deaver doesn't offer OEM height springs. They are also $785...

I see numerous OEM replacements online for $129/ea. Are they junk though?

When I looked at Dreaver for a lifted truck I found them in the 600 range. I have driven trucks with their Springs and was a very good riding and handling truck.

they are not designed for the load stock springs can take though. Deavers are designed to put preload into the leaf pack and the spring rate is tailored to a empty/light load truck.

they will build you a stock height setup or run a 2" lowering shackle (would work very well with deavers) but if the truck sees good sized loads and you have no air bags, they are not the spring to go with. they also bend easy once inverted from too heavy a load.

Pretty sure motoking got some of the 175$ springs and is having good luck. I'll check.

I got a set from a junk yard looked like they were in fairly good condition but sure enough i put them on and the left side was going flat just like the ones i has before. Dang chevy lean

Driver side has deformed to where there is a NOTICEABLE sag...approx. 2" drop.

I bought a set from the junk yard for 50 a side off a 80k mile one ton and added 3 per side to my pack. 2 would be perfect if you don't haul much

Call the dealer. I'd bet they aren't expensive.

So far so good here. My truck has actually never rode this good. With the new springs and 2" drop keys.
