What are you trying to accomplish? Light height, extra weight, etc? Are you also replacing shocks at the same time?

I'm very happy with the Dobinsons 2" front springs I'm using, FWIW.

Spring replacement

Hard to understand what the OP is asking....?
Looking for upgrade? Lift? Or just want to fix a bad ride?
Our 2004 gx was still on the original front struts and springs at nearly 250k miles. Until yesterday....
Our GX is pretty much factory and I have no intentions of doing anything fancy with it, but the struts were shot to the point of kind of becoming dangerous on washboarded gravel roads and similar hard bumpy bad roads in town.
town. I ordered a set of "unity" complete struts and put both on in a little more than an hour and what a difference! Rides like new! They are about $50 each online. For a complete struts preloaded with springs! I know.....cheap Chinese parts, you can flame me about it, but it was barely over $100 shipped to my house, installed easily and rides great.

Probably wont last 250k and you lose the adjustable damping of the front from the OEM struts, (I never used that anyway), but it worked great our purposes!
