Recommendations on where to buy new leaf springs and shocks?

Hate to break this news to you but the springs you are looking at will most likely not be any better than the ones on the truck now. I have owned all three brands you mentioned. If you want a good ride be prepared to pony up, $1,200-$1,500 for four springs. Go to Atlas, Alcan or Deaver in no particular order. With the right shocks the ride will be 100% better.

Well, I’m definitely willing to spend more to get the best ride. I’ll check them out.
As for the current ride, it’s is borderline dangerous at high speed. I’m not taking about the bucking but just the lack of any absorption of any bump. If both my front hit the same bump, hold on, we are going for a ride.
