What should a leaf spring capacity be; 1000lbs, 2000lbs, 3000lbs, 6000lbs?

Depends on what the application is. Is this for a T with a suicide front end or the rear with a buggy type spring or something not even related to T's?

Well without more information its sort of hard to give an answer.

Is the spring for the front/rear?
Is it a spring behind/over?
What size engine?

I am sure there are some I missed as well.

All these factors will have a bearing on the spring you will need/want.

O.k., let's say it's the front spring...behind the axle...big block engine...front disc brakes, etc, etc, etc. Is that enough info for a general idea?
