Hey everyone, haven't posted in awhile but hoping someone can
relay some information regarding cruiser corps 2 inch leaf springs? i broke two of my leafs
on the rear passenger side, now it's sitting with a nasty lean. Realistically i need to replace
all four sides, but i don't have the budget to get all four sides replaced right now. I was thinking i could get the rear set now and in two weeks get the front set? My main questions are:

How much of a difference is the "heavy load" leafs compared to the "medium load" leafs?

i load my cruiser down pretty good with tools boxes and when i go trailing/camping i also load it
down quite a bit along with having a few people too. But i also do a decent amount of highway driving. will heavys be to stiff?

my concerns are sag and bottoming out.

my other question is if i were to get the 2 inch lifted leafs, will i need to get different shocks because of the ride height? i just replaced them 4 months ago to "KYBS". or is 2 inches not enough to make that difference?

Thanks in advance!:beer:
 
Call Kurt and get mediums, based on what you have indicated your use is. If you have broken leaves, there's no way to salvage what you have (as far as adding AALs or some other cheap-fix).

Not looking to “salvage” my leafs. They are trashed and not worth my time to add a leaf. I am looking for a new set of leafs and Main concern is being overloaded. I have the truck loaded with at least 200lbs of tools, a front kangaroo bumper and winch, constantly. And when I go trailing I usually carry a good amount of stuff with me on top of that. Along with one or two other people. Mediums will be fine with all that trailing? I guess I’m concerned they will become flat faster than I’d like.. I’ll call Kurt like you guys suggest. Thanks again
 
I run the CS005 RA/RB rear heaviest springs. The truck rides firm when unloaded and has a 1" rake. When I load it down, it levels out and the ride is ultra plush. Even unloaded, its not jarring or harsh.

I run the Bilstein Shocks, throw the KYB in the garbage.
