Recommendations for stock replacement V30 Springs
I'm looking to replace the front springs on my 89 V30. They're sagged out pretty bad. Who do you guys recommend for the best stock height replacements? I found these. Any thoughts? Thank you!

I used general spring and replaced both front and rear. You can see photos here.

Re: Recommendations for stock replacement V30 Springs
i am also getting ready to swap in front springs . but with the fisher snow plow i run ( heavy ) i will be doing the upgraded 4 leaf option from the aftermarket .
unless you pay good money for DAYTON or TRIANGLE spring brands then its random spring brand from us / canada / india type places . i already have 22-547 rear in the 2,600 lb capacity over the stock 1ton rears weight . then i put in timbren bump stops for the extra when needed .

Re: Recommendations for stock replacement V30 Springs
I just replaced the sagged front springs in my 89 V3500 also. I got mine from general spring, I went with the 4 leaf 1900lb springs. They Brought the height back up to where it should be. I haven’t had time to get it out and see what they ride like but I’m expecting pretty stiff! Highly recommend general spring.

Re: Recommendations for stock replacement V30 Springs
I did the Dayton/Stanley thing. 5 years now and no complaints.
