Leaf Springs

Leaf Springs: the load-bearing spring pack that sets your truck's ride height and rear stance

A leaf spring is the stacked steel pack that carries the weight of the axle and everything above it, usually at the rear of a truck or older car. It locates the axle fore and aft, absorbs road hits, and fixes ride height. People swap leaf springs for three main reasons: to lift a truck for bigger tires and clearance, to restore sag out of a tired old pack that has flattened over the years, or to lower a muscle car and correct the geometry. If your rear end sits low, wanders, or bottoms out under load, the pack is usually the part doing the work.

How to choose

Sort by what you want the truck to do. For a lifted 3/4-ton, a heavy rear pack like the Skyjacker 6" rear springs for the 08+ F-250 or the Skyjacker 4" rear pair for the 03 Dodge 2500 adds height and carries load, sitting at the top of the price range. For classic muscle, lowering packs like the Hotchkis 67-69 Camaro/Firebird sport leafs and the Hotchkis Mopar B-Body geometry-corrected sport springs drop stance while keeping the axle located properly. Budget-minded F-body builders can look at the BMR 2-inch drop leaf springs or the UMI Performance 2-inch leaf and shackle kit. Higher lift and heavier rating usually mean a firmer, more truck-like ride; a mild drop or restoration pack keeps things closer to stock.

What else you need

New springs deserve fresh mounting hardware. Look at Bushings for the shackle and eye ends, and match new Shocks or Shock Absorbers to the new ride height. If you are lifting or leveling the whole vehicle, the Lift Kits and Leveling Kits pages bundle more of the job. Lowering a car? Cross-shop Lowering Springs. Browse the full Suspension section for the rest.
