Where to buy rear springs?
 
I know a lot of guys on here have replaced their springs with heavy duty variants so Im hoping I can find the best place to order a set. I dont need the heavy duty version but everywhere ive been looking is close to $80 for shipping and I would like to avoid that if possible.

Thanks in advance guys.

Many cities have a local spring manufacturer.
Here in Toledo, Oh, I ordered replacement springs from Toledo Spring.
The right rear was a snap and went on easily.
The left rear was a nasty SOB that required a come along so I could get it back together.

No fun!!!
Did the right side after work one night.
Did the left side next night as it would be easy again.
Truck was not completely in garage so door could not be closed.
Dark came and the extra tools came out.
The job had to be finished so the garage could be closed.
After many choice words and the come along tied to the front of the truck to pull the rear axle forward for final alignment, finished up about 11 PM.

Start early and have a helper. If all goes well, he can make a beer run.
