I have a 1998 1500 4x4 5.9. Three parts I need advice on, springs, shocks, coils.
I carried a heavy loaded trailer and flattened one of my leaf springs. My truck has a lean to it now.
So I am looking to buy new rear leafs. Saw some by Husky on Rock auto. Looks like there are different options and measurements, spring width, and leafs packs, any advice on choosing the correct ones? Do I need to purchase bushings or do they typically come with new springs?
Also I am buying new front coils while I am at it, probably from rock auto, saw some for $100, ACDelco brand, any recommended ones?
I am going to replace the shocks as well, saw some people recommended blistien, but my question for shocks is can I use stock size shocks because I have a 2 inch level kit for the front to install as well which I previously bought.
Not sure if better to get 2 inch lift coils for the front or stock and use the level kit already purchased.
BTW, I typically do not carried heavy loads, just occasionally. It is my daily back and forth to work rig.
Appreciate any input.
