Replacing Leaf Springs

[01slvrsprt]

Need someone to point me in the right direction for replacing my leaf springs. I have a BL on my 01 X Sport. It has 175K on it and the rear end is sagging so they need to be replaced. Just looking for OEM. Im worried that if I install the leaf srings that lift it higher, ill have to turn my rear diff to prevent damage to my trans. I cant seem to find anything but the lifted spings though. Autozone doest even sell them.

Also, wondering if anyone knows where I can get a rear diff cover to replace my OEM. I remember seeing one some time ago on a rig, that was made of aluminum and had 4X4 across it.

Any ideas?

i had 4 inch lift springs from Superlift and 2 inch shackles and never did anything to the pinion angle,
I put on a lot of miles after it was done with no issues,

The diff cover you are thinking about is probably a girdle support diff cover.

Replaced leafs with ARB Dakar's.

Replaced rear diff with aluminum from concept pattern-their website no longer works, not sure if they are still in business. Made in USA, holds more fluid, and has a drain plug:

Company Description: We are the original finned aluminum differential cover manufacturer. We manufactured for Hickey Enterprises Inc. and Advance Adapters. We are presently manufacturing under our own name Concept Pattern Engineering and Manufacturing. As we have always done, for 33 years, we strive to maintain the highest quality obtainable

LMC truck sells OEM leaf springs, and they're affordable.

I used a set of skyjacker hi lift air shocks from auto zone. 65 bucks. Life time warranty and they bolt in in place of the stock shocks. Leveled up the rear plus 3 inches to match the front lift.
