Re: What can make a leaf spring do this? That doesn't even look like part of the leaf spring to me......maybe something a PO added to stiffen up the ride?

Re: What can make a leaf spring do this? Its a helper leaf. The rear was probably sagging.

Re: What can make a leaf spring do this? in the top pic, do I see a hole where it bent? That hole is probably supposed to be in the pack on the centering pin. Looks like an old cobbled together fix.

Re: What can make a leaf spring do this? Almost like someone tried to make a set of overload springs

Re: What can make a leaf spring do this? You guys are right, I don't know why I didn't see that they were overload springs of some sort. These were on one I was looking at but have since decided to pass on.
