Shock warehouse (using discount codes that are easy to find) is the usual place for Bilsteins. And parts4chevys.com for springs. Are you striking out at those sorts of places?

:Iagree: It's is very unlikely that anyone here will have stiffer springs for sale. If someone here is selling anything other than new struts, they have been replaced for a reason. Save the headache and buy new. You can get a pair of struts and **88** springs for around $200-$250. Minimal investment for a good return.

Do not go with the 89 springs, they are nothing the problems. Please trust me on this as one of the prob only guys that are running 89's. So far I have snapped 2 struts, and gone through quite a few bushings. They are not worth the money. Please dont think that with all the added weight in the front that you will be good as I thought that I was. the added weight of all the armor that mike sells, plus a 120000lb winch has not done me any help with the springs.

I contacted both gmpartsshop.com and GM parts direct and both are out of 87 springs and as stated previously on this site, on indefinite back order. Best bet would be 88's unless you can find some one selling 87's personally. Luckily I was able to do that and mine will be here tuesday.

Yeah I didnt really want 89s and 87s are impossible to find so I figured I would go with 88s. Just checking to see if anyone had bought and changed there mind or was going back to stock.
