New leaf or new leafs?

[termite]

So, I've got one cracked leaf in my OE (presumably) set. The lower thickest one. Its split out beyond the u-bolts and i need to address it at some point. I'm looking at snagging a set of k2500 leafs from another suburban or just one.

What do y'all think about swapping one side vs both as a set? My burb is a k2500 as is the one in the yard.

I'd swap the set..They're equalized.

Suburban springs aren't the right length anyway.

If you have a Burb that you're changing them on, then they should. But yes, the pickup ones are different....

Both are suburbans.

I'd like to have a functional pickup again one day when life and cash permit it. Ideally a CCLB big block with standard transmission to ensure I'm the only one in the family to drive it.

Yep, missed that. I R dumb.

So that truck would be Rawhide's cranky brother/cousin I guess? The CCLB....I can't imagine getting off the line, or driving a stick in Houston!

Buy both Treasure Yard leaf springs. Replace the one on your Sub that's cracked, store the other good one under your workbench until the other side on your Sub breaks.

This--of course--assumes that both spring sets are the same stiffness--number and thickness of leaves.

Consider replacing the spring-eye bushings when you have the thing apart. You'll need new U-bolts, too.

I was leaning towards that route. Both are the 5+1 sets. New bushings would be going in as well as new steel brake lines.

Stopped by the yard today after work to look at the leafs and had the floor mats follow me home plus a quarter. First time I've made money at a bone yard and brought something home.
