Moroso front springs for S10?
We just purchased a different S10 with SBC. It has Moroso 47130 Spring in front and one is sagging pretty bad.
Front weight is 1696 lbs which is a bit over the rating for the 47130. Thinking about going to the next stronger ones, 47135 which is a 250-lb spring.
My current S10 uses QA1 350-lb and while they are a bit different design, I find it a bit confusing.
Anyone using them with their S10, standard spindles, Dbl adj AFCO shocks?
Appreciate your input.

My Malibu is 1660# on the front, and I have the light small block Moroso springs, uncut, with single adjustable QA1 shocks.
I think they're perfect.
As a side note, every piece of front suspension and steering, except the center link, on my car is transplanted from a '92 S-10 back when it was my daily driver. All the same as any Metric chassis.

Jok,
Im running the 47130 front springs with AFCO DAs revalved by Dave Connolly. I still have a bounce due to the springs. Im pretty sure Aaron cut 3/4 of a turn off of the springs, as he asked me before he added those springs. I know those are also the good afcos on the front.

With the front full loose, I can lift the nose with 1 hand.

I believe Fast Shocks could remedy the bounce with one of their Landrum springs.

FYI - I used to have coil over QA1s on the front, but the nose was extremely heavy.
