Default Leaf Springs?

I recently had one of my leaf springs break. My question is "do I need to/should I" replace both sides at the same time? Or is it okay to just fix the broken side and leave the other side alone...?

replace both sides unless you want the rear to sag to a side.

Welcome.

You posted duplicate threads and in the wrong section. Note where it says at the front of the forum page regarding the driveline forums which includes this sub-section: "This section is an archive of older posts, please post new questions in the specific model section. Thank you!"

Whatever your question, it goes in the model section..... ie. all H3 questions go in the H3 section.

Thanks for your future cooperation in advance.

Ummm, questions back @ ya.
-If you had a bad spark plug would you change them all since they all have the same mileage?
-If you had a bald front tire and the other front was close to bald would you change both front tires or all 4?
-If you had a bald rear tire and the other 3 were acceptable but low tread would you buy 1 tire and wait until the rest are bald too, then buy 1 at a time?
-Why would you wait until the other leaf spring pack breaks when you already had one break? Did you feel safe with a broken leaf? What if it happened @ 70mph?
