Broken rear spring?

[58Bisc]

Hey guys, it has been a while. I need your help. I broke a leaf spring on my H3 and I need to find a replacement set. Where is the best place to order from? Are there any current upgrades that are being used? If so, who makes a kit?


Thanks for the help

I have a stock set of H3T springs. Replaced when I got a lift. I'm in Northern Cali


Can't make it through the day? Back up, and get a run at it!

Ordered a set from GM at this point...

Do the H3T leafs fit an H3? I would guess that they are a stiffer spring?

The T springs are actually softer. I have installed both just to find out. Like you, I naturally assumed a truck would have more spring, and it would be a good upgrade for my SUV.
Nope! The SUV has stiffer leafs. I assume this due to the extra weight of the SUV body. Apparently the genius GM engineering team made no allowance for any payload weight that a T might carry.
Remember: Hummers were horribly mis-marketed (and mis-designed) as a "luxury" brand along side Cadillac. So keep that in mind when trying to modify one. 9 out of 10 times...its this candy-coated attitude that we off-roaders are trying to eliminate from our rigs.
