Add-a-Leaf Suspension Repair
If you drive a pick-up truck, chances are your rear suspension is rated at a quarter ton or half ton. That’s fine for everyday use, but not always enough when towing or hauling heavier loads like a camper, toy hauler, or equipment trailer. Overloading your truck can cause the suspension to “bottom out” or “sag,” reducing steering control and overall stability.
Adding extra leaves gives your suspension about 750lbs of capacity. If your service truck has a welder, generator, or crane on one side, we can adjust accordingly to level the vehicle. This not only balances your truck but also improves steering, handling, and long-term performance.
Re-Arching or Re-Arcing Suspension Repair
On average, springs tend to sag and decrease their spring height one to two percent per year depending on payload, milage, and quality of road surface. This sagging gives older trucks that “lowered” or “squatting” look and can affect handling and ride quality.
At John’s Spring & Suspension, we can re-arch your leaf springs to bring the vehicle back to its original ride height and suspension performance. For drivers who prefer a custom look, we can also reduce the arch to lower your vehicle. Every time we add a new leaf, we re-arch it to match the existing spring pack, ensuring proper fit and even load distribution.
Broken Leaf Spring Repair
A single cracked or broken leaf doesn’t always mean a full replacement is needed. In many cases, we replace the damaged leaf within the spring pack quickly and affordably. We usually offer same day service on leaf spring repair.
We also replace bushings, hangers, shackles, and other suspension hardware. If your truck needs any replacement parts, give us a call! We’ll get you back on the road fast with reliable, long-lasting results.
Class 8 Truck Spring and Bushing Repair or Replacement
For heavy-duty and vocational trucks, our most common fleet service involves Walking Beam bushing replacements.
