New Front springs

Ongoing front end hitting bump stops, so figured that springs are now weak. I replaced the fronts with Ac delco 45h1046. What a difference!!!!. Front sits approx 1" higher than before and rides so much better. Front end had sagged quite a bit.

Did you also replace the dampers? Weak dampers will not properly control suspension motion, and can wear out springs faster.

Also high pressure gas shocks such as KYB Gas-A-Just, Koni or Bilstein only will stand up to the high center of gravity heavy rolly polly Aerostar
Makes the springs last far longer.
