Replacing Leaf Springs

Anyone ever done the job in their driveway?

  • I also had a spring job done at a spring shop to install an extra leaf. It was on a 1985 class C GM, and it was only about 7 years old at the time.

    Without a lift, I would not be attempting it. They also needed plenty of jack stands to support everything, and several floor jacks to compress the springs just right and put the bolts into place.

    Good luck,

    Fred.
  • Had it done but in a spring shop. Reworked one side and added a leaf to the right and left rear to level the unit up. Also made a big difference on sway when driving.
