If you want the best stock replacement springs it needs to be a Flagg or Dayton. From a former suspension specialist

Any opinions on Triangle Spring? They're what my local supplier carries.

One of the best.

Triangle is the spring side of Flagg Good quality control. I never had a problem with there springs in 20 plus years.

Nice! I'm going to have to wait a little longer, as another GMT 400 stray followed me home last night... 92 K2500 light duty (6 lug). It's got a bad trans (no reverse 700R4) and a blown head gasket. Drove it home, for what I paid, I couldn't pass it up.

I thought you were going to rob the springs from the K10 Burban frame?

You know K10 frames also have 2 sets of holes for the rear springs. You can run either 52 or 56 inch springs. You prolly have 52's now, but by drilling the rear spring hanger rivets, and using Grade 8 bolts and threadlocker to bolt them back on the holes already drilling in the frame, then you can run 56in springs. More comfy ride. 56in springs were also an option for C10, so you can get either 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton springs. I have 2 sets of 1/2 56 in springs.

That's actually not a bad idea. I have a C10 I could rob the springs off of. I should go out and take a look at them.

And the new springs were just gonna be if the burb springs were shot. I spent way to much on the front axle so I won't be buying anything for a while anyway.

I think it's pretty rare that springs sag so much it's very noticeable. I've got 2 sets of 56in half ton springs and will have a set of front OEM K10 springs. All are used but these trucks weren't sagging. As you said, someone must have loaded your truck pretty heavy at times for them to sag like you say they do. I wished to hell you were closer. It doesn't take long to swap springs and you'd prolly be happy with these.

Now you've got me really wanting to go get the springs off that burb. It's suppose to be cold for awhile again so I'll probably hold off for now.

Just don't hurt that Burb frame. I wish to hell gas wasn't so damn expensive. I'd put that damn thing to use in a heartbeat. I'm very likely to be getting rid of the 2wd Burb I have. It's in great shape, but it's just not what I want, and I can't see putting all my time and energy into it if it's not what I want. Hard to get motivated to work on it too.
