Restore sagging front springs with Add A Leaf Springs

[paraclete comes]

I went on sd truck springs website and for about 200 bucks including shipping got a set of excellent front end springs. I went with added weight capacity as I mounted a hefty bull bar with guard and an m12000 winch as well as my plow. I wasn't disappointed at all with the ride or the stance, much better than the tired old stock springs. Now it's time for the rear end, hard to be upset spending such a modest amount of cash and getting such a ride improvement and clearance gain.

That looks great.
You have a awesome looking truck.
Was it a hard install?

Thanks buddy.
Not hard at all, removing 30 years bolts was tough as expected.
I also replaced the 3 U-bolts, passenger side bolts, spring plates and installed a sway bar quick release/2" relocation kit.
It is definitely taller. I do not care for the the body lift, but it was necessary.

Ok.
Thank you
I want to put some new springs up front on my truck and either a shackle flip in the rear or airbags. I like the air bags because I can haul even more weight.
My dad has them on his 2000 Chevy 3500

I wouldn't do the whole shackle flip thing if you plan to use your truck for work purposes/hauling and towing to much. More for off road.
With that being said the rear springs on these trucks are stiff. I count 11 in my packs.
I can't wait to replace my rear packs also, something with less leaves and the same height. New mono tube shocks, along with replacing all the bushing is definitely need on my truck. She rides rough and stiff as a board.
