After years of fairly hard wheeling, and having to control a 14bff with no traction bar, my rear springs are done. Totally hosed. They need to be replaced oh-so-bad.
Anyone know of a good source for replacing these? I could probably go the pull-n-save route, but if new ones are cheap enough I'd prefer that. I don't know if I'm ready to go the Alcan custom route yet (more $$$), though. These are stock '93 Rodeo rears, no add-a-leafs or anything. Thus the supple ride and complete lack of control of that 1-ton axle back there...

Check with Matt at Indy 4x. I ordered a set of OME rear springs and am very happy with them! They offer a little lift over a stock spring and the ride is excelent...plus they flex like no tomrrow!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
Note: Not affiliated with Indy 4x or anything of that nature...just a very happy with the product!
8 inches of lift, 33s, custom bumpers and rockbars, powertrax, T-maxx 9000, lots o lights, and some bass in the trunk Lifted, locked, and ready to rock!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> [url=http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/743285][/url]

I think Amigos and Rodeos use the same lift spring: ![[Linked Image]](http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h17/jlanderos99/amigo1.jpg)

With needing to get new springs anyway, have you considered going to something longer for better performance? 56" Chevys seem popular with the 'Yota crowd.

Just to throw another option in, I've installed a few sets of these and had good luck: DOR Upgrade Spingz
