Good Morning folks
 
I need new springs, the existing mono leaves are just too low. I've looked at Detroit Spring and General Spring the price difference is quite noticeable.
 
I know the old adage "you get what you pay for". Anyone care to comment on or have experience of either company.

 
Thanks.

Stuey...I got the springs for my '56 F-100 from Mid Fifty.  Here is a link to their website. http://www.midfifty.com/  They have a good section in their catalog that explains the various spring and shackle combinations.

I got mine CFM general for my 55CV. Cost around $250 pair.

Stuey, you don't say if front or rear, but I'm guessing front.  No experience with Detroit or General Spring, but for what it's worth, I have two-leaf springs from Speedway Motors on my 56  that give me five inches from top of spring to bottom of frame with no body, only a 351 block and heads and AOD tranny for weight.  Speedway claims a three inch drop. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Posies-Super-Slide-Springs-D154F-53-56-Ford-Pickup-Drop-Front-Springs,37072.html
