    Hi orangeaid,

    Count the # of layers in your rear springs. Not positive, but Krage has a very competitive price on rear springs. My hunch is that 9-layers are the "heavy duty" as Krage offers:

    HD springs at that time were either 12 and 13 leaves depending on whether they were used in the front or rear. You'll have a tough time finding a direct replacement unless you want to pay big $. There are plenty of capable aftermarket replacements though.
