What springs should I use

Here is the truck I need the springs for
https://www.yotatech.com/members/mud...k-progress.jpg


what you can't see is the truck leans to the right in front and back, currently both springs on that side are pretty much flat. I believe if you replace one you should replace them all. What I need to know is where to start with regards to what springs to use for this truck.


I'm thinking that if the previous springs did not hold up then we need to make some improvements. It appears that some of the leafs have been removed and there should have been three leafs instead of two. I had a shock blow out in the front and that's when the spring laid down and died. Worried about my frame getting torqued permanently. I do know that too much spring on this truck makes it feel like its going to fall over on corners...very scary feeling.


I think that the stock springs could work but I don't want to go wheeling and find out I was wrong, any feed back on this would be a big help

Ok the springs on my truck are 63" Chevy leaf springs, I wouldn't call that stock, But they didn't do any better then the stock springs would if and when they are new. Her lean to the right is not fixed yet but at least I know where to start. Registration issues needed to be fixed first and she still has a idle issue when the clutch is pushed in...weird stuff.

I put Chevy springs on it, heavier with just the right amount of lift.
