    Those are actually a new set of springs. Weird I never saw that dent on the frame. The old springs off that truck were all junk front and back so I used the springs off the other (parts) truck I had. That truck must have been overloaded all the time. It had helper springs on the back, and when I took it apart 5 of the 10 leaves were busted on one side. Once I get the cab and a motor in there I will know how bad it really is, and figure out a cure. Maybe I can lower the shackle mounts on the frame just a little? What about coil over shocks? WOuld that help support some of the weight without looking too hokey?
