Hi all,
Funny things happen....
I am due to inspection and thought maybe go ahead and have hellwig springs installed so would save a trip.
Well, I called them and they gave me the part number LP35/9655. I said I wanted to order, nope' no can do, "we do not sell to consumer" so I asked where in NC can I get it? 3 places, and they all would required a day trip....
So I called a place around, they would install but they would not buy, I called the local CW (which is not really local) and they do not sell it nor would they order.
Hummm, any suggestions? Having installed does not seem to be a problem, getting the springs is the problem.
I tried JCWhitney, nope they do not sell, sdtruck, nope back order no can tell when.
Anyhow, any suggestion greatly appreciated.
thank you

I would call the local spring/suspension shops or even an medium duty Chev dealer. They may not be an "official" outlet but they should be able to order them.

On DP they seem to think that Deaver Springs may be a good choice for spring replacement.

Super Springs might be worth a look see.

I too was looking at the Hellwig Springs and I had a problem obtaining them so I went to my local truck shop that did spring work and they had to order additional leafs. I added three new leafs per side on the rear because I was riding on my bump stops. After I installed them the unit handles much better and I can a better ride.

As others said, I would look at SuperSprings. But if you want Hellwig, have you tried contacting Summit Racing? They are great to work with, free shipping on most stuff as well.
