Leaf Springs & Airbags

Leaf Spring Customization & Repair

For nearly 30 years, The Spring Works has been the go-to shop in the Grand Valley for expert leaf spring service. If it bends, sags, cracks, or just doesn’t ride like it used to, we’ve fixed it.

We can:

  • Replace broken leaves and worn bushings
  • Restore sagging springs back to proper ride height
  • Reinforce springs for trailers and heavy-duty loads
  • Re-arch springs to add height and improve stance

Whether you rely on your truck for work, towing, or weekend adventures, we’ll make sure your suspension is built to handle it.

Airbag Systems & Onboard Compressors

Looking for more control when you tow or haul? Airbag systems are one of the easiest ways to upgrade your suspension. They help support up to 5,000 pounds of additional load while still maintaining a smooth, factory-style ride when you’re empty.

For maximum convenience, we can install an onboard air compressor system, allowing you to adjust your air pressure right from the cab. That means quick changes for changing loads—no crawling under the truck, no hassle.

Leveling & Lift Kits

Leveling Kits

Want a more aggressive stance without going all-in on a full suspension overhaul? A leveling kit is a smart, budget-friendly way to raise the front of your truck a few inches and eliminate that factory rake.

It’s a simple upgrade that gives you added tire clearance, improved ground clearance, and a tougher overall look—without drastically changing your vehicle’s ride quality. If you’ve been thinking about stepping up your tire size, this is often the perfect place to start.

 

Lift Kits

Ready to take things higher? A lift kit significantly increases the height of your truck or SUV and unlocks serious off-road capability. This upgrade involves a more detailed installation, but when done right, it preserves proper suspension geometry and maintains dependable ride characteristics.

The result? More clearance, more capability, and a vehicle that looks just as bold as it performs.

Ever Wonder What It Takes to Pack Your Bearings?

Trailer Lifts

Axle Flips

If you’ve ever hauled your trailer down a rough backroad, you know clearance matters. An axle flip is a simple, cost-effective way to gain extra height and avoid scraping your rear end on uneven terrain.

By repositioning the axle from above the leaf springs to underneath them, we can typically add 4″–6″ of lift. It’s a practical upgrade that helps your trailer handle rugged roads with less risk of damage.

 

Subframe Installation

Running torsion axles or need even more lift? We’ve got options. We can weld heavy-duty steel box tubing to your trailer frame to safely space the axles down an additional 2″–6″.

This method provides added clearance while maintaining structural integrity. If you’d like a closer look at how it works, check out our video explaining the full process.
