Hi All.

I started the modifications to my 01 LT and started with the shackles and T-Bar. While I was under there I noticed a problem with my drivers side leaf spring. It's broke around the rear bushing. Need a new one. Anyone know a good place to get one aside from the dealer? I searched OEM leaf Spring on here and didn't come up with anything. I'm having a heck of a time finding anything online that isn't lift oriented.

Thanks

 

there are spring shops scattered around. im lucky enough i have two within 15 minutes of me. but both those places usually only carry bigger stuff, usually for semis. one place does carry the rear springs for a k5 blazer though

 

I would try lmc.. but I found this site with google http://www.autoandtrucksprings.com/products/Chevrolet_GMC_Light_Duty_Replacement_Leaf_Spring-1074-35.html

 

Here's a few:

Thanks Everyone.

I think I've got enough here to get started. Pricey for sure.

I found that the spring shops around here are in the same boat, only carrying more heavy duty stuff. Auto Zone tells me that they can't get them. Heard the same from Napa.

 

how about a salvage yard, Here in Va, we have a great pick and pull place that has many blazers, I'm sure there must be somthing similar in your area that would be similar.

 

I did mine and it was the best thing i did along with put coilovers in the rear. I hated taking down the gas tank though to get to the bolt for the leaf on the drivers side front, But only on 4 doors i think you have to do that

 

There is a pull-a-part here in charlotte too. They have a "no-jacks, no torches" policy which would make things tricky. The other day I was in Winston-Salem and went to a pull-it type junkyard, but didn't have the means to get them. Found a full rear spare tire carrier there, but I just picked one of those up, so I didn't need it. It was complete, functional and on the vehicle though. Not sure how much they'd want for it.

I almost scavenged a throttle body butterfly valve plate just so I could shave the halfmoon off of it to see if it would make a difference in power. Figured it would be an easy and cheap experiment, but I didn't have a torx bit with me (My mother in-laws tool box, since I was there for Thanksgiving).

I initially went to pull a PCM to swap for a core charge, but they didn't have an 01 and they looked different than mine. I think I'll go to the one here in Charlotte today if I have time.

I had a blast walking around there and looking at how things went together without having to tear mine down.
