Replacing struts after 107k, should I replace the springs too?

[emhGoExplore]

After 107k miles on my gen 3, I came to realize that the highway oft travelled shouldn't be bouncing me all over the place. I am now preparing to replace the struts on all four corners. A friend told me on Friday that he had to replace the springs on his gen 3 after only 75k. Should I also replace the springs?

I don't want to get started on this only to find that my daily driver is laid out until I get new springs. I am hoping to replace the front struts today while the snow is holding off here in N.E.

i just replaced the front struts in my 03 eddie bauer with 155k because of alot of bouncing over dips and bumps in the road i installed Monroe Reflex and what a difference tons smoother and no bouncing , i didnt replace the springs my truck didnt sag and ride hight was ok , only replace if there is sag or a broken coil ,the springs are pretty tough , you just need the tools and a spring compressor its an easy job about an hour each side , im going to do the rears soon a little more difficult to get out becasue you have to remove the pannard bar off the rear hub to remove strut

As long as the truck doesn't sag, and it shouldn't being that new, your springs are fine. The struts control that bouncing, and are likely not doing their job anymore.

The rear springs on the gen3s are know to break (I am on my 2nd set) if you are pulling them you might as well put in new ones. This is where I got mine.
