The factory leafs sag after a while, and have the potential to break. I replaced mine with a Flex-A-Form leaf, and that broke (I have pictures of it snapped). I replaced that with a steel birchmount leaf. I don't think that one will break any time soon.

theres a company here in Edmonton (probably at least one per major city) that makes leaf springs, if you provide an expample of the shit ass fiber glass ones from our cars, they can copy it in steel too. stiffer, lower... whatever.
