Q: What are leaf springs? Why buy them?
A: Leaf springs are a crucial part of your suspension because they not only act as springs but also serve to locate your axle to keep it from moving laterally or from front to back. Over the years leaf springs will wear out and lose some of their springiness. This can cause your vehicle to list to one side or sag extremely low. Fortunately new replacement leaf springs are available to bring your ride height back to spec and to restore your handling and ride comfort. In addition to stock leaf springs there are also leaf springs available that allow you to lift your ride to clear larger tires or lower your ride to increase handling performance and give a sportier aesthetic. This is a great way customize your suspension and tailor your vehicle for your specific driving requirements.

Buying new lowering leaf springs allows you to lower the rear of your truck, since they are built with a different spring rate or leaf setup than factory springs. There are a number of ways to lower the rear of your truck, and buying new leaf springs one of the popular ways to do this.

A: Only vehicles that utilize factory leaf springs would be able to incorporate replacement aftermarket leaf springs.
