Hotchkis leaf springs

Aarong23 · May 20, 2019

I'm looking for a set of the discontinued hotchkis leaf springs for a 4 inch drop. Or at least the part # so I can maybe track them down. I'm in Oklahoma and drive a 97 GMC regular cab 2wd

Any particular reason you're after the Hotchkis specifically? Reason I ask is Belltech still makes a 4" drop leaf spring for these trucks, part number 5950.

I had read from people who had both said they felt those were the best handling springs for these trucks and that they had a good experience with them.

I will probably get the belltech ones since they are easily available. I'll never understand why hotchkis quit making products for on the most popular and modded trucks around.

If you're looking for something different and custom you might try getting in touch with someone at Eaton Detroit Spring. They can custom make you leaf springs for any application, at pretty much any spring rate. Expensive though.

I just looked those up. Holy cow. Anywhere from 286 to 350 per leaf and that's for three inches
