k10 leaf springs
« on: August 09, 2008, 05:48:40 pm »
I need to replace them on the truck I got. I really can't do 1200$ just for the leafs, is there any place to get them cheaper? A buddy says junkyard but I don't know if that would be the best idea replacing something like that with junkyard parts. Any opinions?

You can get all new leafs and shocks with a lift kit for around $5-600.00 that would be your best bet.

contacy 4wheel parts and order one of their budget kits. The 6" kit I ordered came with Pro Comp springs and shocks and it was about $600 for front & back springs.

Where do you live? Is there a local spring shop? That's the best/cheapest way to go.
