I’m in need of leaf springs for my ‘03 regular cab.
Looking at eBay,they all show ‘93-‘03 but,the pick n pull says ‘98-‘03. Just need to verify what years to look at.
TIA
Pat

it all relative to HOW defined you're being. technically 93-11 with exception to a few monogrammed versions are all the same. JY is separating them in sub generations; 83-92, 93-97, 98-03, 04-11 ect... Ebay guy is just lumping them all together for simplicity of sales.

Since you are lowered, you may wanna look towards what that scene is using for better springs. OEM ones may not be the best motive for replacing them with such.

Thanks for verifying that for me.
Right now I just need to get it drivable again for my daughter. PO lowered it by removing 2 of the leafs. Another one broke the other night and only the main leaf is supporting the truck on the one side. Don’t want to rely on that.

PO is an idiot...

rockauto.com may become a good friend and then approaching any other company offering a lowering shackle "should" in theory put you back in both safety and similar ride height; assuming thats not been done and the PO just was cheap and started pulling out "payload" carrying springs out of the suspension for attention whore points.

Pure attention whore points.
Picked up a set from the wrecking yard and truck is now back on the road.
Since my daughter drives it mostly,not concerned right now about getting it back down to where it was. It’s now a little more practical for her. May end up raising the front back up eventually.

Here’s the result of a cheap lowering job.
