Default Front spring replacement

Jake01 and I replaced one of my rear hangers(big thanks dude!), and during this process Goldie sat fer a couple of days, now my drivers side front spring is sagging bad. Time fer front springs, anything I need to know, who makes a good spring, or should I just buy a super heavy duty set? She needs new springs

I was told that its normal for the front springs to be bent up a little. They shouldnt look like the rears. At least thats what i was told.

bent up; yes... but after the years they start to look like upside down horse shoes... do you have a set of torches? mine didnt come out with the fire wrench. if you have an air hammer that helps ALOT... ear plugs too

i went with the 2.5" to 3" lift in the front. i still have the stock springs in the back cuz i cant afford new ones yet, but to of set it i got 4" lifting blocks for the rear. its not level tho. its got a little bit of a rake to it so when i put trailer on it doesnt look like its a wimp
