if you're running standard zuk springs, find a spring place like, for us in perth, WA Suspensions... theyre a supplier and fabricator of coils and leaves and prolly best bang for buck around.

I've never seen a snapped leaf, only bent ones... were yours "military wrapped" or was it more of a catastrophic failure? lol

ive snapped mine twice both times were drivers side rears.
i just got zook ones again as i had spares. Broke in the middle, and the spring just went flying up into the wheel well. didnt have military rap either.

went to put another spring in last night and discovered it was a slightly different length and ctr hole was about 10mm further back. Were not the same brand but i didnt think it would matter

just make sure that you have both the same length springs on both sides or you will be crabbing down the road
