Where can I find New front springs?

I have a K20 and the drivers side is sagging in the front, so I'm looking for new springs. Any suggestions on where to find some?

ECE springs are great and a great company to work with... There is also CPP and have had great luck with them too. Lots of companies to choose from...

Re: Where can I find New front springs?

Several years ago when my K20's front springs were sagging badly, I had trouble finding replacements. Bought an off-road magazine and looked through the ads, compared prices, and ordered 2.5" Skyjacker Softrides. My kit came with rear lift blocks that I never installed. I have rear AALs plus Hellwig overloads. The front sits just a bit higher than the rear and I've grown to like that look.

I'm still happy with the springs -- they are excellent quality and might be worth consideration if you don't find stock replacement springs. Just Google 'Skyjacker Softride' for suppliers.

Edit: I just realized that you said k20! I am used to slamming them down and not lifting them up! Lol but yes skyjackers are nice!

From my understanding Deaver Suspension is highly thought of. For a custom or stock replacement they would be a really good choice. However if a lift is wanted an "off the shelf" kit would be cheaper and they do pop up on the board classified ads too.

Add-A-Leaf..... poor man's overload leaf, thicker & stouter than than the single leaves in the OEM pack. It goes under your spring pack.

I forgot about Deavers..... never had 'em but I've never heard a bad word about 'em either. Our other rig is a Tacoma, and they are noted for weak rear springs. Deavers seem to be far & away the best replacement option.... they are held in high regard.
