Anyone here use these things and what kind of luck have you had with them. I have broken my second set of factory leaf springs already and am looking for an inexpensive alternative.

I have heard of folks using them on the earlier pickups with good results. No idea on long term durability.

As a work truck. I am a forester and haul a small snowmobile or ATV quite often. Also the truck has 300,000 on it already. I like it too much to replace it.
