do you really need springs. i would suggest shackles if you want to save money. springs are gonna be expensive no matter what you get.

Do a search but from everything I found it seemed like OME were the only ones that didn't sag over time. The only bad thing was that I've had at least one guy tell me that they rode a little rough.

Let us know what you decide as I'm debating this same thing at the moment...

I have the downey 3" springs, they are alright, but I won't give them a strong recommendation. They are a little on the soft side, which I guess is a better ride, but if I put anything in the bed it sags big time.

dont worry... nothing is rough when you compare it to backwards arched leaf springs that have 2 inches maxiumum of travel before slamming on the bump stops.

I just put on my Eibach prokit, +2.5" and love it. they look and feel great. it was only $124 from autoanything.com

i made sure that if they sag. the lifetime warranty covered new springs.
