What leaf springs to buy?

[Hacra]

I am looking at rock auto site for leaf springs, i am not 100% sure what of these to buy, or should i find alternative source (the old ones are starting to show their age).

What is good brand, as the prices seem to be nearly same. Also lbs per spring, i assume i should aim for the 1250lb per spring.

My Ex/Sport 2 Door has the Mono-Leaf spring, and I was looking into possibly purchasing a multi-leaf spring pack style rear spring (but didn't pull the trigger).

I too was wondering about the possible quality differences associated with the wide price spread over what Rock Auto offered.

So, about 4 months ago I contacted Dayton customer service.

We exchanged a few e-mails, and the result was that Dayton confirmed to me that their springs were 100% Made In USA from US Sourced Spring Steel.

Their competitors offerings are made from Chinese and Thai sourced Spring Steel.

The Dayton Cust. Service Rep went on to say that they - Dayton - are a Tier 1 Supplier to Ford, GM, Dodge, Kenworth, Mack and International (to clarify OEM manufacturer/supplier).

Also, if I remember correctly, their springs included bushings in the "eyes".

Hence the price difference, hope that helps -

Thanks for the response, i'll definitely go with Dayton then.

Edit: I wonder if i could use some of the old pack leafs for a small lift (add a leaf).
