Where to buy new front springs? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

With the new front end I'll be ordering I want to get a set of new front springs. No drop springs just some good 3/4 ton springs. I want to keep the higher up look and the old springs are just about shot after 25 years and my fat a$$ driving it.

I've looked at a few place online but want to hear some stories about who to stick with and who to flee from like the plague. Right now I'm looking at http://www.espo.com but want to see if anyone has used them. Also is there a specific brand to stay away from or anything?

I'd go with MOOG springs,

ive always gotten springs from a spring place here in hy/nj we have shops that specialize in re arcing springs and repairing them. Now as for coils they sell Moog pieces and use their front end parts so id tend to use moog unless youre looking for some kind of off road special kind of springs then id go for rancho

Not really looking for off road springs but something that will be a 3/4 rating and give me the taller look.

I bought my moog springs at O'Reilley for about $90.

May call Orilley's and see about them. I'll price them along with everyone else. Does anyone know if Summit sells them other than lowering springs?
