Anyone know of other companies that would have these? Already checked Espo, LMC, even JC Whitney. This truck is getting more frustrating by the day. :-( | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 223 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 223 | Brent, have you tried a local spring shop in your yellow pages. I have always been surprised at what one of my local shop has in stock and relatively inexpensive. Benz Springs in Portland has had springs and suspension parts on the shelf for both my '50 Chev and '64 Pontiac at prices much less than the specialty venders, no shipping of heavy parts to boot. Good luck,

I'll do some calling around over my lunch hour. Thanks for those other leads, too! Guess it's been awhile since I looked at leaf spring prices, but I'm still disappointed to be looking at more than $400 with shipping for a pair. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Check into getting yours re-arched. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 117 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 117 | It's not that they're sagging -- it's that half the spring is missing on the passenger side. Two of the middle leaves are broken and the back halves gone. Picture | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | http://www.eatonsprings.com/ I bought springs for my truck from them, and I am very pleased with the quality, price, and service. They are also a very good place to get all the pins, shackles, and bushings, even u-bolts.

Didn't see a listing on their site for my application but sent them an email. Much appreciated!
UPDATE: Just got an email back from Eaton and they want anywhere from $440-511 for the springs, another $40 for a lowered version, $70 for U-bolts and eye bolts, and almost $100 to ship. Yikes. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | Call a parts store like NAPA or CarQuest. It's suprising what they can still get,
