Last time I had a K5, Summit had factory replacement rear leaf springs for $109 for the pair. My 2wd 79 needs new springs all around. The front coil springs aren't hard to find. Anyone have a source for the rear leaf springs? I've found them but they are twice price and then some from the last time I bought them.
Thanks.

look in the yellow pages. There should be a spring shop somewhere near you. I have to travel 45 minutes for my nearest one. Or a guy that works there lives about 6 miles from me. I have him bring stuff home.

I'm pretty sure Jcwhitney sells them too or try googling them. A quick search showed 8 zillion companies selling them.

I've literally spent hours on Google. Every hit I've checked ended up being lowering springs or lift springs. Back when, those I got from Summit were from Ruff Country or Tough Country or something like that. A friend was looking for them a few years back and I called the company because Summit didn't list them anymore. They said they'd quit making them.
I'm obviously not getting a pair of OEM rear springs for $109 again but I'd sure like to find a set at a decent price.

I found what I wanted at a very reasonable price. And they can do customs if you like.
Check them out when you need new springs, the technical help is excellent.
