eibach springs
Anone using them? Are they better than other brands? I want the best handling I can get. Obviously shocks and sway bars play a big role as well, but I am buying springs right now.

What type of springs are you going to use (i.e. stock, dropped)? I haven't heard much about Eibach other than on imports and sports cars. I would go with a company that deals with old chevy suspensions, like MikeB said. Companies like early classic have tried and true springs for old trucks.

Eibach makes performance springs for just about any vehicle (as long as it is decently popular). I have been to Early Classics web site and thought about their springs. The question I have is, are they replacement springs of the same rate as original, or are they progressive performance springs like the Eibachs? I don't just want to drop my truck, I want it to handle. The progressive spring seems like the way to go.

I have had some experience with Eibach, they build alot of stuff for early Camaro G-cars, for handling through the cones on a flat road course. They are quality! They are the real deal, not just someone who slaps their name on a coil spring that fits. They engineer their products to match the vehicle and you pay a premium for that, but from your post, it sounds like that is what you are interested in for your application.
