I really would like to install new leaf springs, but all I seem to come up with is add-a-leafs. Suggestions? Thank you.

You can get replacement stock packs from places like JC Whitney, or lift packs (2"+) from the suspension kit companies.

Old Man Emu makes a nice 2" lift pack that rides better than new.

I"m new here........who is Old Man Emu?

It's not a who. It's an Australian maufacturer of probably the best aftermarket suspensions. They are known for superior ride and handling (better than new), where as other aftemarket suspension companies are just the opposite.

Add a leafs are ok, they always seem to ride a little rough. You are expecting one add a leaf to help out the multiple peices that have lost flex over the years. Have you ever heard of the ZUK mod? It uses a coil spring over the rear axle. very simple to do, and gives about 2-3 inches of lift in the rear and a much softer ride. I have done it and I must say, it looks and rides much better.

If you want more info on it, look up ZUK mod on yotatech.com.

Its been very popular and successful there.

You might install a small shackle lift kit or better yet see if you can get some Bilstein 5100 lifting shocks for the rear.
