Have not heard of STANDEN... I replaced my sagging front springs with 2" Skyjacker Softride springs and have been happy with them.

If you decide to go with 2" springs, the only other thing you need to change is the shocks... stock ones are too short. However, stock rear shocks will be a perfect fit up front, with correct length and travel.
