Kurt:
Recommend you put something between the individual leafs when you go back
together. I bought a roll of Poly-Ride Liner from Chevy Duty (#74-935
$44.95). Enough there to do all four springs if needed. Used it when I
rebuilt my front springs and have been very happy with the results (I just
wire brushed mine and repainted with flat black paint). If you can find
something similar/cheaper at a local FLAPS, go ahead, just make sure you
don't get something too thick or you may have trouble getting them back
together. Good Luck!
