leaf springs - oem replacement or original? - 25/02/13 03:39 PM

Hi there smile

Guys, has anyone here used Michigan Truck Springs leaf springs for '02 Xterra (WD22)?
Recently I broke one leaf on my X driver's side, so now I'm looking for the replacement. It worth to say that my X lives in Russia, and there are not so many US online stores which are ready to ship such heavy pieces overseas (those guys mentioned above do).

I'm a bit more inclined to buy an original, but if there were some success stories with any of non-original - I'd be glad to hear about it.

Hope for you help smile

Andrei.

I have never used them.

Would you consider going for a whole new set meant for a lift?

Actually my X is already slightly lifted (for about 2.5") by previous owner.
He installed longer spring shakles to the rear, heavy duty torsion bars to the front, and a set of Bilstein shocks.

I'm quite happy with that, so I just need new original-sized leaf springs. smile
