Hey i have a WT leaf sprung sierra with SPOA and just wanted everyone's opinion on a new suspension set up without starting a war. My leaves are beyond destroyed and the same goes for the shocks. I have searched and searched and could not find anything on spring over set ups.(brands,models,lengths) I don't want to raise the car much more so lift kits are out of the question. But what size shocks should i go for ? As i'm guessing they will have to be a little bit shorter than standard ? I'm after the best ride i can get so any feedback on your own setups would be great !
Thanks Anthony

does your spoa setup feature a trac bar to stop spring wrap?? if not, get one sorted out cos that will destroy springs really fast.
You can get a bit more "low" out of a leaf by fitting springs with a reverse wrap on the eye - lovells do this and are a good brand.

i ran lovells springs on mine and they were very good... soft considering they had a 2" lift, and they took an absolute pounding and kept most of their height.
