Try some Cal-tracs........they seem to be bullet proof..

What kind are you using now? U-bolts or T-bolts?

Here's what Summit offers:

I use Mopar style perches with u bolts, but after welding them on I cut pieces of steel plate to fill in openings on each end of perch , this way the outer ends of perch are tied in back to axle tube and can' t bend. I also ordered my Cal Tracs with Mopar spring plates, this moves the U bolts a lot closer to the perches, so spring plates won't bend. Nova spring plates have U-bolt holes pretty far from spring to fit factory T bolt mounts. I have never had any trouble doing it this way. Good luck
