Broken rear leaf spring! Help
Has any one had this problem? Noticed today that I have broken right rear leaf spring. I have also had both front springs broken(replace them with Rancho quick lift). Any ideas about how much to replace. Any thoughts on upgrade and where/who should I buy from(online or shop). thanks...

Your brake and spring guys are good at the leaf springs. Usually disassemble and replace the broken one. You can also buy the complete or pick one up at the junk yard/parts place, clean it up and paint em. Mostly spray rust penetrant or cut it loose with a torch, using new Ubolts etc on assembly. A dirty job but someone has to do it. LOL I would caution to look real close for damage elsewhere, sprung stuff. It's not real easy to break a rear spring. Have never done it and have hauled some very heavy things. It may have run very fast over some bad things.
