should i lift?

I bought my replacement springs from General Spring online. They are nice and well built. I think they are around half of what LMC costs. I got the HD 1/2 ton springs for mine (I think 2350 lbs over stock 1800 lbs per spring) as I use mine as a farm truck.

how many leaves do your springs have? the ones on my truck have 6 and that seems a bit beefy for stock haha. i know the first owner was a farmer so im thinking he may have done what you did?

I have the 6-leaf springs on mine. I looked at the rating, it is 2200 lbs, not 2350 like I thought. There is a 7-leaf spring available in the 52" size, which is rated for 2775 lbs, I thought that was probably overkill and went with the 2200. Stock K10 springs are around 1800-1850 lbs I believe.

Also - the stock 1800-1850 lb springs are 6-leaf as well. So you could have either rating. There is a 5 leaf spring, which is actually stronger - 2150 lbs - as well.
