I put cool cruisers of Texas, hell for stout HFS springs on my 76. They seem to be well made and working well so far.

I use CCOT a lot. I checked and it didn't look like they carried leaf springs
Cruiser Outfitters has replacement factory leafs from the company in Japan that made them for Toyota. The ride is much better than the Rough Country setup I had before.

Thanks, i didnt see them on their website. It looks like the only line they carry is Old Man Emu
The website is ~1/4 of our in-stock inventory. Cruiseroutfitters.com isn't being updated, all development is going to our CruiserTeq.com e-commerce site. We are adding dozens of items weekly.
We stock Dobinsons, OME and our exclusive Japanese stock height complete kits. I'm not sure what stock is like as of today. Drop the parts team an email, info@cruiseroutfitters.com

Unfortunately, Cruiser Outfitters doesnt sell just the springs, they are now selling in a bundle for $2100 with springs, shocks, bumpers, etc. all I need are the springs.

You can have a spring shop like Alcan build you pretty much anything you want. It may end up being as much as cruiseroutfitters though. You could also have a local shop take some arch out of some 2” lift springs. That would probably be cheaper.
Edit: this might be obvious, but you can also get a used set and have a spring shop re-arc them.

Not sure I should mention this but when I was doing up my 72 and had everything nice and clean there were Mitsubishi diamonds on both front springs - don't know if a po fitted them or a bit of parts sharing goes on in Japan.
Sorry for the confusion. Those kits have always been sold as a complete kit including all necessary install parts, springs, shocks, bushings, shackles, u-bolts, etc. They have never been offered loose. Between production limitations, cost of the springs from Japan (which went up 50% as of late
), shipping and more than anything the demand for them stateside... we don't have any plans to sell them outside of complete kits. Hope that clears things up.
I've got stock springs from a 72 from when I installed OME a number of years back.
Shipping from MT to TX may be cost prohibitive but let me know if you would like to look into it.
