77 c10 heavy half, 6050 GVWR
I'm going to haul a camper and want to upgrade to 2600# rear springs. Iv found a lot of springs online for $150 a side. Called a local truck place and said they have a brand (can't remeber the name) thats made in the USA for 250 a side. Raises the question, where's a good place to get springs at a good price?

that spring shop are they installing?
you have to think also that spring shop might be buying them for 150 they have to make some money also.
on another hand ½ tons ¾ tons and 1 tons use the same spring packs just different numbers and a helper spring. so a ½ ton might have 3 - 5 springs and a ¾ ton might have 4 - 8 and a 1 ton might have 8 - 11
what does your camper weigh and is it a a regular ball and hitch or something special?

Prices were for parts only. The truck shop is quoting me for Dayton springs.
I have 7 leafs and an overload whicheck looking st available packs online shows it could be a #19xx spring or the #2600. My passenger side sits about 2" lower so I know it's time for springs.
Also it's a slide in bed camper. Haven't weighed it yet but est 1200-1700. Took it fair with current springs but I needs all the help I can give it. Figured springs and LT truck tires were the best bang for the buck at this point in time. Sway bar after that.
