leaf spring help needed

[kijocoz]

hi i have an 84 c10 the previous owner lowered it ,in the rear it had 56" springs and he axle flipped them and removed a few leafs (there are 3/1 now). the truck walks in the rear on potholes and rough road like old springs would(im sure its because he removed the leafs) my options are add a leaf to it,firestone air bag helpers or new leafs (they only come 8/1 in 56" so id have to remove a couple as i dont mind it sitting an inch or 2 higher but not more. what would be easiest and solve the issue. thanks for any help!!!!

What condition are your shocks in?

You can get some 52in leaf springs, all you have to do is move your rear shackle hangers forward 4in to the next set of pre drilled holes in the frame and bolt them in with 3/8 x 1in grade 8 bolts.
