There was a member that got some springs from Alcan, maybe he'll chime in. Otherwise you could probably contact Alcan and ask them what a set of springs comes with.

They are extremely slow to respond. I've contacted them a few times. I will have to call them on Monday.

I went to their website Tuesday afternoon and filled out the "How to order" form and got an email response the next day. They quoted me a rough price but wanted to know how much my accessories weight so they can design the correct springs. Here is the link http://www.alcanspring.com/order.htm
Bill Ford wrote me and said this: "They come with bushings and take about 3-4 weeks to design and build. "

I would like to go to http://www.dobinsonusa.com/ and order a set but the shipping price I was quoted is completely outrageous. AIR FREIGHT $936.45.

I need springs and shocks bad!

Welcome to 60Patrol!

The Dobinsons are nice springs, but they are in Australia. A few years back some of did a group buy and shipped in several sets from them. As I recall the freight wasn't even $900, but that's when the US dollar was a lot stronger and it was economical for us to buy things from Australia. Now, not so much. :(

This might be 'old' news but we possibly have another option for leaf springs. Dobinson Springs has a facility in Florida. I talked to the guy about getting a quote for our G60 leaf springs. The Dobinson Australia part #'s were not in his database for the US. He is going to request a quote from Australia and stated that they get a container every few months. I mentioned that this might not be a bad item for them to keep in stock. I will share as soon as I get a quote back.

That is awesome news! I can vouch for Dobinson's springs - I've used a few of their lift kits and they rock! I have used a 2" lift and 0 lift from Dobinson's.
