Most of the chains sell boosters that may help until you get a new set. if you can make it back up here I also have chevy lift leafs that we can bastardise into your springs. See if that helps until you can get a new set.

ok so i got some used springs in there and some makeshift bump stops, it'll get me to gainesville but i will be needing help sometime in the next few weeks making helper springs from old leaf packs and proper bump stops, ie: not made out of 2x4's, lol, any help would be welcome seeing as that i have limited tools and no power source at my dorm to work on this thing, thanks

hay i had 2x4 in my springs for about 3 months and when i took them out they still looked good
so you can keep them in there for a little longer if you need to

i'm getting my money back from the idiots that replaced my leaf springs because they put the wrong add-a-leaf in the new leaf packs, which is why i've been having so many clearance issues, so i need 2 long leafs to make my own add-a-leaf out of since they are taking the leaf packs back and i am getting my $300 back, if anyone has 2 long springs that i can buy to beef up my springs i would appreciate it, thanks! even top springs with shackle mounts are ok, i'll cut the mounts off and use those! thanks!
