Thank you. Mine looks like it was eaten by a mouse. Is there something other than stock like Timbren?

HiZ...you can buy new from dealers like Tousley, or you can check the recycle yards around your area. In my area, the "regular" recycle yards didn't have trucks bigger than 1/2 ton, so to find the springs for mine I had to look for 'heavy truck' recyclers. There I found three 250/350 trucks and between those three I found a V code and B code set, still on the truck.

Have you checked via Google or the like for auto dismantlers or heavy truck dismantlers in your area?

Decided to pull the trigger today and yes I started to call around w/o much luck
I did a google search but at the same time was not positive about getting the correct springs!?! I'm going to keep at the local yards to see what I can find.
Thank you though

Cheaper steel? Not required to meet OEM specs for the kind of steel?

Who knows. But it's only $40 bucks cheaper than OEM Ford V codes.
