72 K20 Front Leaf Springs

moving on the u bolt problem. I ordered Dorman springs (22-384) and the width doesn't flare out at the ends. The old ones were 2.5" in the center and then widen to 3" at the hangers. The Dorman are 2.5 front to back. In the front the sleeve/metal tubes sticks out to make up the difference. In the rear they gave me one spacer and I need 3. Trying to get them to send me 3 more.

Anyone have a part number on springs more like the stock?

Alcan in CO. can build you a high quality made in USA stock height set for a nominal fee. Several people on here have used them with excellent results.
