So my k20 has a few broken leafs on both sides and I just bought a 1/2 ton parts truck. Could I just disassemble the packs and replace The broken ones with one's out of the 1/2 ton? they're the same width. I believe my broken ones are in the middle kinda

I searched with no luck

I have done that before with out problems , I mean the right way is to have a re arc done with the broken leafs replaced but you will have no problems making your own spring packs with the springs you have , I would get new center bolts before you start.

Alright thats awesome to know, it'll save me about $400 bucks on new springs. What do I use for center bolts?

A re-arc at a spring shop with some springs replaced around here is around 65.00 each. As far as center bolts , our napa has all different legnths and sizes. I always get ones that are longer than I need that way you can line up the springs with ease then cut them off.
