Looking at Leaf springs for 1998 Chevrolet K1500. Already found plenty of links to places to buy them in other threads, but looking for little advice on selection and install.
Existing leafs are 3/1 leaf. What are things to consider if replacing with 4/1 or 5/1 leaves? Or is it best to replace with 3/1 like what’s there? I've been towing a 6000 lb camper with weight distribting hitch for years. Existing springs are sagging but not completely failed.
What are best prctices for installation? Is axle alingment a concern, or how do you insure everything is straight? I can fix anything under the hood, and brakes, but never messed with suspensions.
