Rear Springs
I replaced the rear leaf springs with custom built ones from Deaver Suspension.
These springs are built for the new weight of the truck, the V8, the inverted shackles. The leaf pack has 12 leaves plus a snail wrap on the front part of each pack.
While I was changing springs, I replaced the rear spring hangers, the shackles, all fasteners, painted the frame rails and I installed a Lokar emergency brake cable set.
Here, you can see the spring packs, the 5/8" u-bolts and urethane spring bushings, and the new hangers, shackles (with Energy Suspension urethane bushings) and grade 8 hardware.
