Where to buy Nissan Frontier leaf springs?

Does anyone know a good source where I may purchase leaf springs for my 1999 Nissan Frontier pick-up truck? The dealer seems to charge a high price. I live in Montana. Thanks

I don't know the reason you have for wanting to buy new springs but an option [if you have the old springs] is to have them repaired or a leaf added at a spring service shop.

Thanks for the replies. The reason I would like to replace the springs is because one has been bent and my truck leans. I will try one leaf spring to see if that will level the back end. If that doesn't work, I will replace the other as well. I have also googled for leaf springs only to find lift kits and individual leafs. I would prefer to replace the entire spring assembly if the cost is not too great.

Over the years I've had extra leafs installed and broke ones replaced. I've never priced new leaf springs but all the times but one I was well satisfied with the work, price and result of the spring shop's work.

The cost of repair is probably cheaper than a new set of springs AND THEY DO ALL THE WORK

Thank you for the suggestion. The portion of my leaf springs that is damaged (bent) is the longest spring with mounting hardware at each end. I will look into purchasing just the portion I need.

truck springs

You might try an auto salvage yard. I'm sure there are some in your area
