Got a 89’ G20
I’ve got a noisy diff so Ive removed it rebuilt and in the process of removing it got corroded/broken rear leaf springs
Vans a 1989 lwb G20.
Looking on Rockauto at springs and my question IS:
Are the DAYTON springs any good. Quality wise or does anyone here have any other info on to get decent 6 leaf springs
from. Or are they all good?
I’m guessing a 2100lb weight (1ton) is suitable?

Ideally you want springs that will keep the 3/4 ton capacity, 2100 lb per side would do that.
