equivilant for 86 front springs

[localarmyman]

ok guys I have read and read and havent found anything about acdelco having a spring equivilant to the 86's that can no longer be found, if anyone knows more about this please let me know but from what i was told by GM the equivilant part comes from a v8 model and the acdelco part # is 45H0379, they say it should be the same but if anyone has used these and found them to be to stiff or not stiff enough i would really like to know as these are what i plan to but on my rig. any info would be good, thanks guys.

P.S. My local dealer here in BFE can get me a set of the 86's but they are coming from a warehouse across the country and the want $150.04 A PIECE before tax and offer no military discount. Way to much IMO.

the "14" spring is right between and 85 and an 86 in spring rate but is a little longer.

I don't recall anybody trying Delcos. If you believe they would work, pony up! When I got the 89s there was a strong possibility they wouldn't work (and they didn't until I added more weight, shock failed). They were around $100 a piece. Sometimes you gotta pay up and try stuff out, it's the only way we find out about new options.

well they are next on my list just hadnt herd if anyone had tried them, i have currently bought my z71 springs, bds shocks, and will order the delco springs with blisten hd's to go up front, then i will add the markmc 3" spacers and i will put the info out hopefully all goes well, only time will tell.

I actually bought 2 sets of the Moog Spring 81114 by mistake. I didn't know AC Delco made a set. Let us know how that works out.

Am I reading this right? You paid $100 each for 89s? My total shipping cost for a pair was ~$75

Yeah, they were almost as much as the lift itself. I only remember it cause I was pretty irritated they cost so much.
