Not gonna have a 2" lean. Just sayin. Stock trucks aren't 2" higher in the right rear and look like they have shackles on left side. 2" is alot

I bought a new leafspring from www.generalspringkc.com and swapped it out last night. Good to go. Rides awesome and the new leaf pack is better quality than factory. I highly recommend them. They sell a lot of great parts and have the best prices I could find. I paid about $125 after shipping.
Easy way to get the drivers side leaf off (got another bolt from the junkyard earlier in the day and put it in the other way so I can be removed without messing with the gas tank)
I cut out a notch for my differential, the notch is very clean and doesn't really look like this piece. Was a tight space so I cut this much out and then cleaned it up with the grinder and rounded the edges and such.

Thanks, Yea I may still replace the other side since it's just as old but prob gonna get 04+ slotted rotors and calipers first

Yeah, go with 2 piston rears and the 05+ fronts. Slightly bigger rotor up front and better braking power all around for not that much money
kay:
Is that the only reason you replaced the leafs was for lean? What's the difference now?

Yea I read that, that's why I was curious if the other side sags just a little more than driver side since it was new

I not still replace the passenger side but yes I replaced it because or the 2" lean on the drivers side, it was also a little bouncy.
I'm not changing rear brakes just yet until the pads wear more but fronts need to be changed and with 22s I have plenty room for the 13" rotors. Will tahoe/Yukon calipers fit 05+ truck rotors?

thats for the rear if you have disc, if you have drum rear never mind, and tahoe fronts are same as trucks
I have disc rear
I wonder if 05+ tahoe/Yukon calipers are better than 05+ truck calipers and if they also got the same 13" rotors. Mine are 12"

Same here lol. Check out brake motive. They sell drilled/slotted rotors with ceramic pads for $120-150 for full set. And around $200 for all 4 corners
