Leaf sping questions
I've decided not to go with a flip kit on the rear of my 85 c10, I think it will be lower than I am wanting to achieve. and its going to cost more than I want to spend.
So I have decided to cut the brackets on the rear and move them up 3 inch's or so and lower it that way. Now I am in need of some new leaf springs, have not found anyone that offers a lowing spring for a respectable amount.I really only want to run 3 leafs at the most. the set up I have now is a 2 leaf set up, and I think that's just a little to week for my set up. So I'm wondering if anyone knew of anyone or anywhere that sold an OEM spring or something that would possibly work for me.
Or is there any other make and model that has 52 inch springs?
Or has any one heard of putting s10 springs or anything like that on a c10? Since i am already cutting the brackets off and moving them up, there should be no reason why i cant move them to make another spring work?

well im not really asking what leafs ouyt of the pack to use, im more asking what spring i need to buy so that i can make my set up work the way i want. I still need there to be enough give in the rear suspension to allow weight to transfer to the back so that i can still maintain a decent hook when i launch..
