Good place to order new suspension components in Canada?

I'm looking to buy a new set of rear springs, and a full set of shocks for my IFS truck, plus new rear shackes, and bushings. Is there a good place I can buy these north of the border? Shipping these from the states is likely going to be a little pricey. I'm looking primarily for OME springs and shocks.

Both Modern Motors (Blackfoot Trail just south of Shaw GMC) or National 4WD (right across from Shaw) can get you OME stuff. I got new shocks and springs for the back of my 4Runner for under $500.00 from National.

They'll probably have to order it, but it beats the hassle of dealing with shipping from the US.

I've still got to get Nitrochargers and torsion bars for the front. It never ends, really...

For the cheapest, go across the border to Great Falls, Montana. When i lived in the Hat i went there for my Rancho's and saved an incredible amount of money! And it did save me money even after accounting for the gas to go down there.

Well maybe from medicine hat, but the extra gas from calgary would likely negate the cost savings.

North Shore Off Road (North Vancouver) might have a deal on shipping (ie: free shipping on orders above $xxx.xx).
