Broken rear main leaf spring

Broken rear main leaf spring
Well, as the title says. Took my truck to get inspected. Tech found broken leaf on right side. He wanted 600.00 buck to fix it. Asked me all kinds of questions about how it rides. I said no sway, doesn't lean etc, etc. He said, well. You gotta fix it then. Kind of a jerk too.
Spring had to be broken as long as I've owned the truck, (4 years now) cause there is no sign of a fresh break.
Question asoon to the best and fastest why of removing the spring. As, looks like ford had a better idea when putting the bolts through the shackles too.
Any ideas.
Thx, FTE

$600.00???? Good lord that is high. For that type of money I could set you up with all new suspension all around.
To make your life easy just cut all the old spring eye bolts off and the U-bolts. Get a new main leaf (if that is the route you want or get a whole new pack) and get a new center bolt. No need to waste your time and try salvaging your old bolts. Feel free to give me a call or send me a message, I would be more than happy to help you out.
