Broken Superlift Add-a-Leaf

[BIG DUTY]

The other interesting point of this thread is that the truck is still sitting level in all 4 corners. The ride also seems to be the normal. I pulled a 2 place snowmobile trailer yesterday and had no problems. So I now know it is a good idea to look at the suspension more frequently. You think the truck will sit uneven when i put a new spring on only one side?

no, usually with breakage where yours is it doesnt hurt spring rate that much because its still clamped with the u-bolts, so it can "fold" at the crack too easy. i think it will be perfect with the new one.

I was just thinking it might sit high on that side until the new spring "settles" as they normally do.

Same thing happened to one of my rear add a leafs. They replaced it free and sent me two new ones. I was happy to say the least.

That has been my past experience as well. The new spring will be stiffer than the original springs which are broken-in. It will possibly sit a little higher. It won't take it long to settle in...

Well as soon as I put the new spring on im hooking to a 24ft car hauler for about 200 miles. Im thinking this will help the break in process.
