    I haven't, can't make up my mind which way to go. Leaning towards General springs, but I haven't been able to find any info on how they last 2 or 3 years down the road. I don't carry a lot of weight or wheel off road, but I still want a decent set of springs for the money. I might just ride these out for a while and upgrade the whole suspension, maybe with the OME setup. Good luck with what choice you make, and keep us posted on which way you go.

    Well I bought my truck 3 months ago and it has General springs and the stickers with the label don't look old but the springs are doing terrible IDK if there is a way to tell when they where made on the springs.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    I put a set of the General Springs Heavy Duty on a friends truck several years ago along with Super Springs about 100,000 miles.

    The Truck gets used hard as a Truck 1000 pound payload is about average .

    They are Holding up fine.

    Perhaps since then they have changed manufactures it seems the quality of most anything has gone down.

    I miss the days when I could go to the local spring shop and have leaf springs rebuilt or add a leaf have custom coil springs made .
