I decided to rebuild my extra set of leaf springs that I had laying around. I'm planning on rebuilding my spare axles and bolting them up, so the old springs need to go. I unbolted the leaf pack and removed all of the rust. Then I primed and painted the leaf pack with rust preventive paint. I finished one of the front leaf springs today using all grade 8 bolts with a dry graphite spray in between each leaf. I still need to replace the bushings (which I have). Has anyone else ever done this? I was planning on buying new springs, but all of the usual sources were out of them.
