Default Leaf Spring On 93

How often and what has to be replaced along with leaf spring ?
This is a 93. It sits lower than all I have seen. Guy who sold it to me said it was a special package.

Do appreciate any input.

i replaced the rear spring on my 87 last spring, because the car was high on the right side. didn't fix the problem. ive seen a couple other late 80's sitting the same as mine. it does ride/handle better though. someone told me that because the springs are fiberglass and the exhaust pipes are close to them that they will lose thier spring. hope this helps dude

The guy may have installed longer springbolts to lower the car.
I've not done this mod, but you should be able to crank the nut to bring the height back up.

Default spring

Thank you all, Will try this tomorrow.
Got to replace my shocks, but I need to take care of height first.

Have a great day!
