Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 338 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 338 | ordering new springs front/rear for my 46 1/2 ton. Am wondering who you all have ordered parts from in the past. 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: 8,988 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,988 | 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. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2016 Posts: 223 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2016 Posts: 223 |

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.
