New springs

Hi all, I lurk on here and don't say much but I sure learn a lot from everyone on here so thanks!

I broke a right front leaf yesterday and had a lot of good luck really... it was like 2 minutes from my driveway, didn't cause any other damage and I was planning to change em to V codes anyway!

Thanks again to everyone who did all of this before me, I will look into some stuff up here in the cold frozen north (-21 C this am!) that may be in stock and check their pricing or I will order them from Stengel or Husky depending on cost to ship as well.

Will let you know how it all pans out this week, gotta get it done asap as it's my work truck.

Dave,

Be sure to check with Tousley Ford in Michigan - for factory springs they were the cheapest (cheaper than having my local dealer get them for me). V codes and rear blocks would have only cost 80-90 to truck ship to Sacramento...they seemed to have the cheapest factory parts (with shipping) that I could find.

I believe so, but I ended up deciding to do the V/Modded B, so I didn't follow up any further than that one call/estimate. I need custom length bolts, and I found it cheaper to have them made at a local spring shop. You might want to check a shop near you...factoring in the weight and shipping, might be cheaper to get them locally.
