Professional Leaf Spring Repair for Trucks & Trailers
Leaf springs are a critical part of your vehicle’s suspension system. They support the vehicle’s weight, absorb road shock, and keep your truck or trailer stable under load. Over time, leaf springs can sag, crack, or break, affecting ride quality and safety.
At John’s Spring & Suspension, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing leaf spring issues for pickup trucks, heavy-duty trucks, and trailers.

Common symptoms include:
- Truck sagging or leaning to one side
- Excessive bouncing after bumps
- Clunking or squeaking noises
- Uneven tire wear
- Reduced towing stability
