Hey Guys,
I'm after a new set of rear sierra springs for the front of my 92 WT sierra. I've RUF'd the front end and am also running SPOA and it's finally taken it's toll and they've flattened/inverted. I also have quite a severe "sierra lean" even after relocating the fuel tank, alternator & battery to the passenger side. The front end is rather heavy with the winch and bomb-proof winch mount I fabbed up out of some scrap plate I had lying around so I'm thinking a 2" lifted set that I can remove the load leaf from and possibly another?
Any suggestions on types/brands?

I would look at
trac bars front and rear to prevent axle wrap
correct bump stops to prevent too much spring inversion.

Whilst i think spoa is antiquated maybe some heavy duty ome 2" rears and then fiddle with the packs to suit.

Flat springs are what you want running SPOA, this will give you the best flex. Take as many original packs as people will give you and just add an extra leaf to the drivers front to correct the lean. SPOA with lift will just make you too tall.

SPOA with dead flat leaves and trac bars:

Fix the lean by cutting some leaves down to just the perch length and bolting into the pack on the low side. Mine doesn't lean though so i've not done this.
