K30 V30 Front Spring ?'s
Truck spec... 87 K30, big block with a/c. Its a wrecker so a nice heavy push bumper is installed...
My front springs are soft. I want to replace them, but not 100% sure what to do... LMC offers a 3 spring pack for a k20, but of course not k30. Are they the same weight rating? If not, anyone have a good idea on where to get a replacemt set of springs? I do not want to lift it. |

Find another set of front springs and add a leaf to your current pack.
If you were closer I'd give you a set

This looks like a good deal. Being in KC, KS might be the place LMC buys from. Going to see what happens in the next 12-18hrs, but think I am going to buy a set there and see how they fit. Trying to decide if I want to go with the 3 or 4 leaf... |

Re: K30 V30 Front Spring ?'s
Call them. They used to list front springs for these trucks. I bought my rear springs from them and they were the cheapest place I found, and i did a lot of looking. They were great to work with. After ordering I called and asked for a sale discount they offered that had expired shortly before I ordered and they gave me the discount.

Re: K30 V30 Front Spring ?'s
Update... A little googling reveled a OE part number for the 3 leaf HD's, which then led me to NOS springs on feabay. I ended up buying 2 sets for $533 delievered. My little bro was needing a set too, so he was nice enough to pay have the bill.

Not sure it they have stock height springs but I know that Sky Jacker makes springs for K30s. We put a lifted set on our K30 dually.
