I can't find/purchase Front Springs

[Ludworks]

My springs had a tag, but it was unreadable. Don't know about Evenprimes, but I doubt it would matter, I don't think those codes would mean anything to anyone nowadays.

It would be great if someone could find that mystical spring selector guide. Then we could at least assemble an accurate account of what Eagles got one code springs. And hey, maybe it actually contains the spring specs.

One thing that has come to mind in the past for missing, broken or weak front springs was air bags.
It's overkill since we aren't looking for performance in this application, but Eagles do technically have space in the engine bay for the compressor on rear air suspension.

I think air suspension would be an awesome upgrade for an Eagle. I'd love on-the-go ride height adjustment. I bet that if you added an auxiliary air tank the optional factory compressor would probably work just fine.

I've thought about adapting a modern strut, but trying to hunt one down that's the right length, has a compatible design, and is from a vehicle of similar weight proved too much for me. Most are way too long. Some of the aftermarket airbag coilovers though...those look promising.

Ultimately I think that if you have a broken or weak spring the most cost-effective option is to have new ones made.

So is it realistic to think that if I remove my springs and bring them to Vancouver Axle and Frame (They make springs) that they should be able to make me a new set of springs?

Pardon me being stupid, but I just want to make sure that there isnt anything specifically special about these springs that would make it difficult for a company to make another set?

And are both springs the same? Or are the helical opposite, or does anything else matter?

I'm just trying to plan this all out.

Thank you

I believe the OEM springs are different from side to side, to compensate for the fact that the engine is slightly off center.  How much of a difference it makes it real life, I don't know.

Okay boys. I dug out and calibrated the micrometer. Here's the results.

Spring 1 measurements: 0.653-0.665  (Assumed 0.660)   Weight 10.120lbs   Height ~15"
Spring 2 measurements: 0.634-0.643  (Assumed 0.640)   Weight 9.625lbs     Height ~14 7/8"
Dimensions are hard to take due to wire distortion/helix so I've provided a range of measurements and assumed nominal dimensions.

There is a slight height disparity that I didn't catch before due to the surface the springs were resting on. It's may be due to sag, tolerance, or design. 

I was wrong before. I made the mistake of using digital calipers and assuming the springs were the same. I apologize. Vangremlin is absolutely right, the springs are side-specific. There does not seem to be any difference in shape. Unfortunately I've had mine out for a while and I can't say for sure which spring goes to which side. I would assume the larger spring is the passenger side due to the engine offset.

Evenprime there's no reason a good spring shop can't remake them. I'd take them in and at least see what they say
