Hey all...
Have a 79' W150.... With a BOSS V-blade plow hanging off the front for 3-4 months a year. (VERY heavy).....
Anyway, the front suspension is 3-leaf springs with Rancho 'helper' spring add-ons. It's time for some new shocks (Has some sort of old HD Gabriel gas shocks now).... I remember you used to be able to buy coil-over shocks years back. Being as my poor ol' rig needs all the help it can get when I have to hang all that weight in front during winter, I thought this might be the way to go. Looked all over the net and can't find anything. Any suggestions? Does anyone still make these? At a reasonable price? Any other ideas?

Thanks....

Have you looked through summit Racing and Jegs? Could be your old springs need to be replaced? Try www.espo.com
