I know some guys that are using chevy springs..they don't like them..w/flat bed not enough weight.one guy has the bottom support leaf in and the other does not.I think he one with out that leaf has way more flex.Both are set upthe same..I'd go to the jusnk yard with soem mesurements in had and take a look around.Thats what I have done.Take a leaf here,take a leaf there.Its more work but I think the end result is mush better than anything you will buy..
