Default 78 leaf spring.

Hi,

How hard is it to change out a leaf spring in a 78 4 sp.

Can you change just one side without having a tilt issue or do u or should you change both at same time.

Are you referring to tilt from side to side or tilt from front to back. If you're referring to side to side tilt then the answer is that there won't be any tilt. The leaf spring on a corvette is not mounted parallel like a truck, there is only ONE leaf spring that is mounted perpendicular to the car. You shouldn't be experiencing any tilt issues front/back unless if you have worn front shocks/springs which means that you should probably switch those too.
