Part question...

So, I disassembled the rear stock leaf springs, and they had those plastic... end caps? I'd guess you'd call them. All of them were toast.

Do I need them? and if so, where can I find them?

Are you talking abour the spring eye bushings. If so most vendors carry those.

No, those I have. I mean the plastic pieces that fit between the ends of the leaves themselves. The leaf has a small hole cut into the end, and these plastic bits have a small nub that fits in the hole. I think they are there to keep the ends of the individual leaves rubbing the leaf above it. Only the shortest leaf doesn't have a set on either end.

Does that make sense, or did I just make it more confusing?

Will squeak and creek if not put back in there, any spring shop carries those...

they pretty much just keep t quieter, like that matters in a bronco. they also cut down on some of the metal to metal wear. call around to some spring shops, like deaver if you want replacements.
