I have a 2006 Kodiak and have the 2 leaf spring rear. I just had one leaf break and I would like to upgrade to a stronger set up. The hard part is I leave on a trip in 6 days.

Ditto. Probably doesn't help you since you are in WI, but I've used Benz Spring on a few vehicles and their work is amazing. They will custom build what you need to get your ride right.

Perhaps the better, but more expensive option, might be to consider an Ultra Ride set up from Link Manufacturing. The cost is huge ($4-5k if I recall), but it is the cat's meow. Your rig is big and springs have their limitations, as you've discovered. We have this set up and it is excellent. Here's a link to Link, for what it's worth (look under the current models tab for your C5500): http://www.linkmfg.com/ultraride.html

Good luck.

If you were in this neck of the woods, I'd send you to Henderson's Lineup. You might do a search for RV Suspension shops in your area or call a nearby RV dealer to see what they can do for you. 6 days is short notice, though. Good luck!

They will only give me what was on it. They say they have no way to look up heavyer springs. I remember others going to 19000 lb springer but can't find the part number

Several different springs on the 5500 chassis. Either go to a GM dealer or a big truck repair shop.
