Source for new V/B leaf spring
Hello,
I'm looking to purchase replacement springs for my truck 2002 Ex 7.3 4x4.
Instead of running all over Maryland trying to find a used set, I'd like to buy new. Shipping adds at least $100 to the price. So if anyone knows of a dealer in the DC metro area thats reasonable or will do wholesale please let me know.
Thanks
Anthony

I found a set of low mileage V's in maryland via craigslist. Tried for months to find B's on ebay and CL but it didn't happen. I went with a ProComp add-a-leaf kit for the rear ($100.99 shipped on amazon). I kinda wish I went with X-codes for the front but whatever. If you're deadset to the V/B setup, good luck. I just thought i'd give you some options.

The quote is at work and I don't remember the name of the dealer. If you'd like to recommend someone I'm listening.
Thanks for the input and suggestions. The stealership that's closest to my house is useless. It's truly funny, some dealers want the complete VIN while others want the last 8 digits of the VIN.

I'm really hoping my local dealer could match Tousley's price because shipping from there to Ca was estimated at $200 something.

Stweart,
If I'm not mistaken, I spoke to them yesterday. I think they had one front spring in stock. The sales guy was able to calculate shipping on the front springs but not on the rear. As previously stated, shipping would have been around $100.00.
When I'm free, I will double check with them today. Springs are heavy and I live in Md.
I'm not lifting the truck to add larger tires. I'm lifting it to get it off of the bump stop and to improve the driving characteristics of the truck if that makes sense.
Thanks

Lovestrucks,
Let me know what you decide as I have a friend who has a set of front - I believe V-code springs, I'll have to double check - from his F250 that he removed with about 2k miles on them. He pretty much lifted his truck when he got it.
I am not sure what shipping would be from Northern Cal to Southern Ca.

That's why the spring swap mod was conceived.
