Hey guys. I need some new leaf springs for the truck's rear end.

Deavers are just too expensive at 800+ bucks a set, so that's probably a no-no.

I see these springs on ebay for 230 shipped

Leaf springs are leaf springs for the most part, unless you pony up for a set of Deaver's or National's.

there's a set of chevy springs that are 64" long, you can kinda make a frankenstein pack with a re-arch from deaver and you'll get plenty of travel or articulation.
