Coil Springs

Anyone replaced the coils on their 2wd bullnose? Any recommendations for brand?

I didn't replace mine on the truck, but always like to use Eaton springs.

I second Eaton. I haven't purchased springs from them, but I have purchased the spring "liner" that keeps the leaf springs apart. They didn't have it in stock but ordered it in and sold me what I needed.

In addition, they discussed with me the problems with my plan of powder coating springs - the temp goes too high for the temper of the spring. So they recommended painting them, which I'm doing.

Interesting. The Eaton springs are $190 and the Moog's are $68. Wonder if they are really worth 3x the price?
