Front Leaf Spring

[Eric Jensen]

Need some advice.


Just took the front leaf spring apart on a 29 truck with not much tension (maybe an inch?). There is a total of 12 leafs! With the middle spring square on the ends - maybe a replacement? They appear to be in good shape with no cracks - although the center bolt broke inside while unscrewing.


How do I know if I should just replace the whole spring (rather not) or remove leafs, or add tension the leaves?


My plan was to clean them up, POR-15, Rustoleum Enamel top coat, then Slip Plate on the touching sides and screw back together



See picture.


Thanks - and Happy 4th!
