Leaf spring question???????

Will 2001 diesel leaf springs fit a 2003 diesel truck? Are there any differences? They only have 500 miles on them supposedly they have been in storage. Are they still good?

They will work, and would be great to use, if whoever isn't wanting a lot for them. In other words,don't give a new price for them

Here is my issue: I currently am running a 6" lift with 35" tires. I would like to get to like a 4 inch lift. Are the stock leaf spings the best way to go? Should I buy a superlift 4" complete suspension lift. The problem is a superlift is like 1500 bucks and the stock ones I can get for cheap. How are people lifting their trucks 4" are they keeping their leaf spings or buying all new ones?

Stock springs, stack with superlift add-a-leaf, stack with fabtech add-a-leaf

Thats how the local diesel shop told me to do a basic 4" cheater lift. Have not tried this, but I do have the superlift add-a-leaf.

Whatcha gon do with your 6" kit
