Suspension Questions

I got off subject in another thread so I figured I better post a new one in case anybody else has answers, suggestions or can benefit from it:

timb,
since you mentioned springs.........where'dya get new springs that are 2 inches over stock? I've been thinking about 2 or 3 inches above what stock was when it was new, but haven't had much luck looking online. I have dial-up so looking online gets tiresome after a while........ Would new springs be my best bet? I've had people tell me to get helpers or add-a-leaf, but my springs are lookin' pretty rough if you ask me. I'm thinking replacing them altogether might be better...I should probably make this a new post *L*

Hainesly, I bought my front springs here in Portland Oregon from a place called Benz springs. They built the complete spring packs for me and re-arched and added an extra leaf. they ride real well, and brought the truck up where I wanted it. If I remember I paid about 370.00 for the front pack's.

Thanks guys. I forgot there's a spring place close by that I need to visit and see what they can do for me. I'll keep the $330 in mind for comparison.

Feel free to keep the replies comin'

I'll post when I get something......could be a while.
