The springs on my 89 have (to my knowledge) 225k miles on them. I put a set of Bilstien shocks on a few months ago hoping to improve the ride/handling which they did slightly but not enough. I know the springs are shot. There is a good bit of body roll and every time I hit a pothole or something the whole truck shakes. So here's the question, I am looking for stock height replacement springs but can't seem to find any, if anyone knows where to get some, post up. The other option is lift the truck, which I am not opposed too. I love the look of a k5 with a 4 inch and 35s, BUT, I have 3.42 gears and my rear axle has brand new internals which I just spent 700 bucks on, so re-gearing for 35s is not an option. This truck is my daily driver and spends 95% of its time pounding pavement. I currently have 32 inch tires that only have 12-15k on them and are in great shape so I don't need new tires anyway. Is it possible to drive on the highway in OD with 35s and 3.42s? I do not want to kill my trans and I don't want it to be constantly shifting. My gut says no. My other thought was to buy 2 inch lift springs and keep my 32s. I think my first preference would be new stock height springs though so if anyone knows who sells them I would appreciate it. I want the best ride possible. Thanks
Not cheap, but looks to be very nice springs. If your focus is best ride possible, not sure you will be able to beat them......
