GMC Jimmy Leaf Spring
In GMC Jimmy many different chassis use the part that is called the Leaf Spring, which has the primary function of maintaining and stabilizing the suspension system while at the same time cushioning the ride by supporting the weight of the automobile and absorbing road shock. In the past, these types of springs were constructed from thin steel in the form of an arc; in versions with increased carrying capacity, multiple layers of steel were laminated to improve the carrying capacity. The first layer is referred to as the Master Leaf and it is confined to the chassis; the interleaving of the layers provides some measure of damping. Through the years, different models of GMC Jimmy cars have employed different types of leaf springs that include the mono-leaf which is regular for most light duty vehicles, and the multi-leaf that is usually used where of high capacities are required. The modern cars are transitioned to the coil spring sets, still, the mechanical trucks prefer the use of the Leaf Springs for their sturdiness and durability. Add-a-leaf kits are available so that further changes in the ride height as well as the spring rate are possible to expand performance capabilities of the lift, lowering, or additional load-carrying capacity.

GMC Jimmy Leaf Spring Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you remove and replace the leaf springs and Leaf Spring Shackle on GMC Jimmy?A: To remove and replace the leaf springs on a vehicle, start by raising the rear of the vehicle and supporting it securely on jack stands. Block the front wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling off the stands. Use a floor jack to support the axle and raise it slightly to relieve tension on the leaf springs. Remove the four U-bolt nuts and washers, followed by the anchor plate and U-bolts with a spacer. Raise the axle slightly off the springs with the floor jack. If the spring will be removed for an extended period, support the axle with jack stands. To reinstall, reverse the removal steps, gradually tightening the U-bolt nuts in a crisscross pattern and then tightening all fasteners to the specified torque. If the bushings at the ends of the spring are worn or deteriorated, they can be pressed out and replaced with new ones.
