I have an 89 Ranger. The leaf springs are broken or cracked where they wrap around the bushing. Is there any way that i can weld a piece of steel on the crack, or do i need to buy new leaf springs?

the only problem with that is that the local junk yard told me that the leaf springs that they have wouldnt be safe to put on any vehicle. I might just have to call around
I want to replace the broken leaf, but seeing a PAIR for what everyone else wants for one enticed me. Ride height baybee with these springs, even as 4 leafers I get rid of that ugly azzed sag.
That's my thought also. A lot of bone yards are getting ridiculas on the prices that they want for used parts making a few dollars more for a new part the smarter way to go. Especially if it's a vehicle you're going to be keeping for a while.
