I bought mine from Napa. Had them the same day as i ordered them. Which you should be able to do also, being close to St. Louis.
I am sure most of the springs come out of the same factory, so buying them from a different store will not change a ton.

That's odd, my local NAPA store told me they couldn't get springs for one of these trucks.

I bought a set on rockauto.com for my '70 C-10. They were great.

Depends on the help behind the counter, I avoid my local Napa because I wonder where the help got the energy to fill out the employment application.

Rock Auto is my go to for most stock replacement parts. Go with AC Delco or Moog. If nothing else, look up part numbers on Rock Auto. From there, you can look up if you can get the part from your local brick and mortar store.

Re: Best place to buy stock height springs?

Perfect timing on this question. I’m planning on a 2-1/2” static drop on my front but wanted to replace the stock springs while I was at it. Didn’t know which was better AC Delco or Moog.

I recently got stink service from my local NAPA but great at OReilys. Go figure.
