    Hey everyone need some help. Got a cracked leaf spring. I want to replace both sides and upgrade them. Something that will also give me a 1-1.5” lift max. Any recommendations?? I have 35” tires and 5160s in the rear too why 1.5 is my max.
    Thanks!

    If it was me I would get some from a wrecking yard and then put in an AAL. That would be the least expensive way to add some capacity to the rear.

    Ive been itching to do something but am gonna wait til my shocks are burnt- at which time I plan to go Kings with that Deaver kit. This pandemic has stomped production but I hope all will open up next year sometime. I will go to Keith at Dirty Deeds for my order.

    May as well get some hydro bumps... My wife will not agree to any of my Tundra aspirations. She basically justified why I shouldn't/ didn't get Kings - got 6112s /5160 instead. Really happy with the Bilstein but they are not Kings.:). While Im at it supercharge it!

    Had a great customer service experience too. I had to delay my order but they have been great to walk me through the process and shape what would be the best fit for my usage. I hope I ll be able to order during summer (+ shackles for coachbuilder likely).

    Alcan leaf springs makes quality replacements that are custom. Kinda pricey, but worth it.

    They were reccomended by @Rex Kramer and a few others.
