Hi guys. I have a 98 k1500 regular cab z71. It has 194,000 miles on it. I replaced the shocks with new bilsteins about 5000 miles ago. My question is the back left side has been gradually sitting a little lower than the other side. It was already doing this before i replaced shocks. I was considering replacing leaf springs and was wondering if 2500 leafs are the exact same measurment as 1500 leafs. Obviously only adding another leaf. Just curious if anyone has done this to these trucks or just replaced with oem leaves. Any comments on install would be appreciated. Thanks guys

 

Check the adjustment on your torsion bars.

Front end is fine

 

back left where the gas tank is? called "chevy lean". Over time that leaf gets wore out. I replaced my 01 leaf springs that were pretty wore out with HD springs. Sits level in the back now and can hold a load a lot better than the 1500 springs.

 

hey guys getting ready to order my springs. I am going to step up to the 3/4 ton springs and had a few questions. Do I need to replace my spacer with a 3/4 ton spacer?? And do I need to replace my spring anchor plate with the 3/4 ton version. Planning on replacing shackles and all bolts, just curious if I needed to replace these parts. Thanks

 

I just bolted the new springs up. Had shackles on em already and reused the bolts from previous springs

 

thanks country-09 appreciate your input think ill just go that route
