Hellwig Springs

Yahoo Message Number: 7432
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
Mo

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.

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.
