Replace Coil Springs?
 
Are coil springs a 'wear' part? My stock ones seem ok, other than having 40years and 150K miles on them.

I am not lowering the truck. I want to replace the parts that need to be replaced, but I don't see any reason to replace parts that really don't need it.

So, do I replace the coil springs, or blast and paint the stock ones?

Thanks for any and all opinions/advice!

They will sag over time, but if you are comfortable with the ride height, there is no reason to replace them.

Thanks for the advice! Is there a way for me to tell if the springs are weak, once they are already out of the truck?
