I have a 1998 1500 4x4 5.9. Three parts I need advice on, springs, shocks, coils.

I carried a heavy loaded trailer and flattened one of my leaf springs. My truck has a lean to it now, so I am looking to buy new rear leafs.

Saw some by Husky on Rock auto.$140 each. Looks like there are different options and measurements, spring width, and leafs packs, any advice on choosing the correct ones? Do I need to purchase bushings or do they typically come with new springs?

Also I am buying new front coils while I am at it, probably from rock auto, saw some for $100, ACDelco brand, any recommended ones?
Not sure if better to get 2 inch lift coils for the front or stock and use the 2 inch level kit already purchased.

I am going to replace the shocks as well, my question for shocks is can I use stock size shocks because I have a 2 inch level kit.

BTW, I typically do not carried heavy loads, just occasionally. It is my daily back and forth to work rig.

Appreciate any input.

 

Get the 5-leaf pack in 2-1/2" width. If you want, you can use Add-a-leaf too for more strength.

If you already have 2" level, get stock springs. Otherwise, the front will lift too high and need other parts replaced to compensate.

Shocks can handle 2" but not 3" so anything more than 2" will need longer shocks (in the front). The rear can be stock.

 

You can use the 2in lift coils or your 2in leveling kit it's up to you

 

If you were going to replace the shocks anyway, and keep the 2" level, just go with the 2" longer shocks.
Also the front springs, I would ditch the leveling kit and get the 2" lift springs. And if available, progressive version.

 

Thanks for the responses, looks like I now have the correct parts picked out and will order this week.
