Rear spring options

Is there any heavy duty coil springs available aftermarket or a close substitute from another vehicle? I'm tempted to convert to leafs but if there is a coil option I might try that.

Re: Rear spring options

Rear I assume...we just got some 3/4 ton, progressive rate, HD coils from LMC for our burb...substantially heavier. Original on the left, LMC HDs in the middle, and CPP 4 in. drop "HDs" on the right.
