I am looking at springs from General Spring (generalspringkc.com). They seem to be priced better than most that I have looked at. Has anyone used their products before? They will be stock spring/spindle combinations. Anything I should look for in particular from a vendor? Thanks for the input.

They sell springs made from original oem blueprints. https://www.eatondetroitspring.com/George '54 3600 | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | I would definitely buy from a local company to save on shipping. These are not rocket science. Can't see getting bad springs from a spring company. You live in a well populated area. Gotta be good spring companies there. Don't worry about it.

They are American made, and they claim that they are made from North American steel. Mine were quite a bit less money than same thing from Eaton. They also came with correct bushings already installed.

I thought that was pretty reasonable.
