V code springs in NorCal
Robert, where did you get your V codes?
I know there are some nice junk yards up there, is that where you got yours?
Got a link to the yard?
I know Pete (Duck Fan) has one he checks regularly, but I can't remember the name of the yard.

Cool.
I was curious because I ran across a guy in the East Bay selling a set of V codes for a hundred bucks. He say's the springs only have 55k miles on 'em.
Mind if I ask how much you paid for yours?

$65 per spring for the rear B codes
$125 per spring for the front V codes
I think they have something in the ballpark of 53k on the fronts and 80k on the rears. I wasn't as worried about the mileage difference since I'll be modding the B's anyway.
I kind of worry about "super cheap" springs...no way sometimes to verify the mileage on them, and we all know those types that will shaft a guy without blinking twice.

I don't remember the breakdown exactly, but back in the day, I got a discount at my local dealership before my long-time parts guy Brian Cool (gotta love that name) got downsized when the economy took a dump a few years back.
I paid a total of $640 bucks for the V codes, the B codes, and the rear blocks.

did you do modified rears using 2 of your excursions springs and the excursion spaces between each spring?

I did and used the stock blocks. With my particular rig doing the V's in front, modifying the B's with stock blocks gave me right at 2" of lift on all 4 corners. I'm sure that will settle just a bit, but the modded B's with stock blocks matched my front V's exactly.

I am not.
I came across the for sale ad on another forum and just figured I'd help the brothers here on FTE out by posting up, just in case anyone from NorCal was looking.
If I ever do front springs again, I'll most likely get W codes.
