Broke A Front Leaf Spring
I hit a bump in the road tonight on the way home and heard a clunk pulled over and saw the top leaf of the two leafs had broke what a pain. Was wondering if the Dealer or Local spring shop would be better to get new ones.Also this would be the best time to upgrade to the code x front springs? How much of a job is it to change out the front springs?

That is what you get for driving down town Rockford right now!!! I hear the roads JUST PLAIN SUCK right now. I am with F350. We take all our stuff to Madison Spring here at work. They aren't that reasonable, but they are there...
EDIT - I take that back, I really don't know how their pricing is for stuff like this. I did look into an add a leaf for my front and they were more expensive than just getting one off eBay etc.

Drive it up to Clinton. We can throw it in the Delco shop. That doesn't mean I will know what the hell to do though...

I called the spring shop today and they quoted me $500 for the heavy duty like code x springs and 240 to install them said it would probably take 3 hrs sounds like Kris can do it faster

Shipping was 65.00, I dont know what it would be to IL. They are in Las Vegas.
