    Default Rear leaf springs for 1995 2 door Tahoe

    The rear springs in my '95 2 door are getting really worn out and sagging, so much so that I'm starting to experience axle wrap issues. I guess after 342K miles and 23 years, that is to be expected!

    What recommendations do y'all have for replacement springs? I can purchase replacement springs from standard aftermarket suppliers like Dayton, but I'm not sure if there is a better option? I prefer to spend more and get higher quality parts when able, but I'm not sure where to go on this item.

    I do have a local shop that can make custom springs, but I want to keep a nice ride, since this is my daily driver.

    Your local custom spring shop should be able to rework your OEM springs, returning them to near original for considerably less $ than replacements. In my experience, this is a much better option than aftermarket replacements (questionable origin and quality). Your other option is new OEM replacements if available, or pampered OEM used springs (I have a set available from a 95 1500 PU, if that helps). Less than that will leave you with lesser quality, in many ways.
