.. not to be nitpicky but the correct terms are "progressive" and "linear" rate springs.

Who offers progressive coils for these rigs?

I put some moog progressive on about 4 months ago, got them at napa. I'm not saying they are bad springs I just like a stiffer ride. My truck is a 70 lwb may ride different with a swb. They ride ok but wish I had gone with a heavy duty spring.
