Very freindly people to deal with

My boyfriend brought his F-150 in to get his exhaust and spring leaf fixed. It was quick and very affordable. They were super friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend trying this place out. (It also definitelyyy beats a dealerships pricing. 😅)

Friendly fast service

On 11/14/2024 Thomas Leonard had this to say:
These guys are fantastic. A while back, I brought a knuckle in from an old K10 to have the ball joints pressed out and in. We ran into a few issues with the ball joints being installed opposite (bottom on top, vise versa) and then having issues with the upper ball joint loosening during instalation of the knuckle, but they went above and beyond fixing any issues. They proved their integrity, which is why I didn't hesitate to bring in the other knuckle when I had the time. These guys have gained my business, and I trust them to do it right, or at least have integrity to make it right.

On 6/26/2024 Law Ager had this to say:
Had a snapped leaf spring on our travel trailer traveling through. Call them up they first told me they could walk me through fixing it but as soon as they realized I had no idea what I was doing they helped me get it to them and then did the work. They were able to replace all four leaf springs which were also about to go within 2 hours of me getting there and get us back on the road the same day. So nice so amazing absolutely blessed to have found them. You know when you find a place that's not taking advantage of you and does fantastic luck. I'm only sad that we don't live closer to them to do all my work

🍂 Beef up for winter roads! 🚜 Fall is here—harvest is rolling, trailers are loaded, and winter is hovering just behind. Before the freeze hits, make sure your rigs are ready for the hardest work of the year. At Kankakee Spring & Suspension, we’ve got you covered. Don’t let a shaky suspension or worn‐out springs slow you down when the snow flies. We help you prep hard so your fleet works hard. ⏰ Fall slots are limited—schedule your maintenance while harvest and roads are still under your control.

Here’s what to check & upgrade while you still have time:
🔧 Inspect suspension setup—after hauling heavy harvest loads, shocks & springs take a beating.
🛠 Add extra leaf springs for those plow trucks—better support = better performance, less downtime.
🧰 Reinforce truck / trailer undercarriage: grease joints, tighten U-bolts, check axle alignment.
❄ Get plow mounts ready—service the mechanism so it doesn’t freeze when you need it.
