I am about to replace the shocks and rear leaf's. I was thinking about either buying leaf springs and bushings, or having the leaf springs re-arched and replacing the bushings. Any suggestions? Thanks.

What does the re-arching cost, and how long of a guarantee that they will stay up?

 

haven't looked into that yet. I was hoping someone here would know those answers or at least ballpark them.

 

Def replace them. Rearching doesnt last long. Had mine replaced @ a local shop for like 500.

 

Quadratec has springs for $75 each and the bushings cost another $20 per spring for standard replacement. Heavy duty, lift, etc., go up from there, so youre talking $190 for replacement springs and bushings, plus shipping and bolts if you get new ones. I did my whole rear suspension (leafs, bushings, shackles, center bolts & nuts, ubolts & nuts, shocks w/nuts & bolts plus all the shipping for like $400. Not too bad for a whole new suspension with all new fasteners.
