    no need to be sorry ;)
    the price was decent and the springs (heavy duty, 4-leaf) were exactly what i asked for. i thought i had found a decent opportunity for you all - apart from general leaf, which you seem to be happy with (y)

    Question is, how do we get ahold of them if we want to order some?

    Eaton Detroit Spring manufactures those springs. And has them in stock.
    313-963-3839 www.eatonsprings.com.
    The springs mentioned in pps from other sources were not manufactured by us.

    Here Local I used American Trailer / Spring.

    I took My good set to them and they rearched and added a 4th leaf.
    was a little over 200 bucks.....but i got all new hardware also....and If I knew it cost to get the old bushings out I could have saved about 15 bucks and took them out myself.

    They also cleaned them and painted them black.

    Look around your area for someone like them.

    It's your business, so it's really none of mine, but on the eatonsprings site, a pair of springs for a Maverick lists at $532.22 and $479.00 "Jobber" price.
    (ref: http://www.eatonsprings.com/2009AutoPriceList.pdf)

    That's why I purchased them from a company that eaton sells to (Suspension Kings) for $208.00/pair.

    :hmmm:

    Am I getting rejects, I wonder? Ha! Probably not - I just don't understand why the big difference in cost to both company's end user.
