new springs question

I need new springs and defiantly want to go chevy 63's. I see most guys move the stock backs to the front. Mine lived a hard life. What would you recommend for new fronts?

I threw mine rear ones up front, but it may not be a bad idea to swap in the 2nd leave from the original pack into the new pack. stock rears are REALLY soft..

I think 4wheelonline.com stopped carrying the springs for our trucks, but you can call and check. Just to warn you, it takes 6-8 weeks to get them since they ship straight from australlia, but they are the cheapest source out there if the still sell them. The part numbers are CS008FA/B for the front and CS009R for the rear. Try a google search by part number to see who has them. I haven't driven on mine yet, but they seem to be fairly soft and I don't even have the full weight of the truck on them yet.
