Basically just like the title. It looks to me like some kind of hill billy overload, just wanna make sure. And where is a good place to get a set of stock height springs made or rebuilt.

It looks kind of like an overload spring on a one ton or cab chassis truck but done in a ghetto style. Your truck looks to be a half ton and the PO tried to increase the load capacity. Or mabey tried to raise the over loads up when a lift was installed. I would take them out.
over load kit but redneckifyied to the extream!!!!

Well one of the springs is busted anyway, you can kinda see it, so they are definately coming out, was just curious.

its probably time for a new set. you can get stock springs from a junkyard pretty easily.

I want a new set though. LMC has them for 300 a piece... That's too much, I would like a nice fresh set with a military wrap on them and fresh pads.
Maybe call a local spring/driveline place?
I think I read that on here as a suggestion before.

Grand Haven huh? I'm from Muskegon, small world.
I was thinking of a company called Deaver? I think, every place I called act's like I'm retarded and tells me to buy a lift kit from Summit, or try's to sell me one they bought from Summit and jacked the price up on. I don't want a lift, just new, strong, smooth springs. I have this thing where I like to replace thing's with new, better thing's.

Yeah I just moved to Grand Haven recently so I don't know any of the good shops yet... but I'll ask around.
I hear you on the spring search. Some days its hard to find just good parts to make an improvement when you replace!
I'll let you know if I find anything around here.

Deavers are really good springs but are real expensive. I have heard on here that alcan makes good quality springs and are cheaper than deaver
i ran stock replacement springs in my 1ton converted truck. thay were triangle spring # 22-553 if i recall correctly. thay are 5 leaf and have the overload with the bolted spring clips. not the bent over tab style that limit flex. road real nice. and when i installed lift kit i swap in a ord 4" flip in the back. then it was the best. great flex and ride. but still kept a load good with out to much sag. retail price out the door in my local shop was about 110-125. few years ago tho price.

Alcan was the other one I was thinking of, I just couldn't remember it.
BTW, I don't live in Muskegon now, I live in Cleveland, for about a month, then SoCal.
