Van is kind of sagging...first 150K of usage was deliver bottles of oxygen and medical equipment, so maybe time to give it a rear lift. Do you have any recommendations for vendors for rear leaf springs? What other things should be changed at the same time? Polyurethane bushings ? anything else? BTW, I am looking to maximize the weight capacity of the van. There are older posts on this topic, but links posted for vendors were dead.

Take this with a grain of salt, but 'Various MFR' can be taken literally at SdTrucksprings (or Rock Auto). The springs are sourced from different manufacturers. In other words, two orders may receive springs from two different spring manufactures. For that reason, I ordered Husky/Dayton springs from RockAuto.

I bought mine from a big local spring shop (Seattle area) .
By the time I paid shipping for heavy springs from the midwest, it was cheaper to by locally.

I got a set of 22-687HD springs from Autozone... They had 20% off online orders (as they often do) and free ship to home... I don't recall the final total, but it was by far the best deal at the time, about 8 months ago....

I'm a bit late to the party, but if you're in the North East, I liked ATS Springs. Auto and Truck Springs

Leaf Springs and Suspension Parts by Auto and Truck Springs

Big selection of stock Astro parts plus the leafs...complete kits, shackles, clam shells, u-bolts, HD and XHD springs. Good customer service, too.

I used SD Springs for the rear anti-sway bar. Took forever, but I got it. Drop shipped so not, SD's fault.
