My left rear leaf spring just broke on my 2001 4x4. Does anyone have a used one for sale?



If broke about 12-inches from the front. Is the truck safe to drive in the meantime?
 
Safe to drive? A lot depends on which leaf broke. If the longest leaf (the one with the attaching ends) broke, I would say is would be dangerous to drive. If a middle leaf broke and it still attached by the bands surrounding the rest, then it 'may' be marginally safe as long as you you baby it.



Step one. get it fixed.

Step two, see step one.

Found a spring locally for $95. A buddy will install it.
