Where is the best place to buy stock height leaf springs? I am SOA so I don't want any more lift. I thought about upgrading to the metric tons from hellscreek but that will stiffen up the ride quite a bit.

I have standard replacement leaf springs from General Spring.  After they settled, they measure out exactly at stock ride height as measured by FSM instructions

I just ordered some from General Spring.  How long did it take for them to deliver?

So I'm looking into this as well.  does anyone know if hell creek and general spring are the only two companies that sell comanche springs?

also anybody have any issue running stock springs with gear and having it sag too much?  trying to decide what i want, wether the stock or the metric tons.... again same issue i don't want the rougher ride, but i also don't want the bed to sag too much with my gear.  i carry about 15 gallons of water, 10 gallons of fuel and 33x10.5x15 spare plus tools and camping gear pretty much everywehre i go....

I did. They want 750 for a custom set.

Hells creek sold us a set of metric tons for 500.00. other then a small amount of surface rust they have settled in nicely, and I have not found the ride to be that different....

Just a heads up, When I ordered mine, the spring manufacturer said there were 4 variations for the standard '87 4.0 shortbed.  That made replacing mine very confusing.   After I replaced them, I saw a 3/4" lift in the rear so I needed to upgrade my front coils to a 3/4" lift so they would match.
