Spring Upgrade Question
I was looking at SD Truck Springs. Pretty cheap for a set of V and B codes. HOWEVER, they don't make V so they suggested using X instead. Total package including hardware is $800.
Are they a good shop or is this some cheap made chinese crap? Any comments on X B vs V B or should I hold out for a V B set?

When you call ATS, ask for Junior. He was pivotal in my decision to purchase the "right for me" suspension. Customer service from ATS, after the purchase, was/is something I have never encountered anywhere: above and beyond. If there is a Medal of Honor for customer service, they would be a worthy recipient.

I went with ATS for my springs. My research into spring replacement found that SD truck Springs uses coding for their springs that do not match either Ford's or ATS's spring codes. Basically, make sure that the springs are correctly rated for what you want regardless what the name is. Look at the thread below, starting @ post #66. It further explains what I was trying to say. Hope it helps.
