TBP 9 LEAF rear spring opinion needed

[EB70]

Hello,

I am getting ready to upgrade my rear springs. The Bronco has at least one ad a leaf and some blocks and who knows what else. It sits uneven etc. It is just time for some new springs.

The intended usage is off road a few miles to my house on a dirt road, fire roading and snow 4x4ing. NOT Crawling. Truthfully, it is more of a pavement rig other than snow and my occasionally scary driveway.

I live local to TBP's and I can get the springs, bushings and U-bolts for $359 which is cheaper that the 11 leaf packs. Then you ad shipping and it ads up quickly.

Primarily, I am looking to get things leveled out and improve the ride quality.

Any reason to drop the extra funds on the 11 leafs for my purposes? Any experience with the 9 leaf springs?

Thank you as always.

My current Bronco had a TBP 2.5" lift on it when I bought it. It was an older lift so not sure if it was 9 or 10 leaf, I didn't count them. I had no complaints about the suspension. It was swapped out for a WH lift I had sitting on the shelf when I rebuilt the axles and did a disc brake and power steering swap. The ride was very similar between the two.

I wouldn't pay shipping if you are local to Tom's. They should all be pretty similar.
