Peter-

I'm not sure where Bill gets his springs, but here is a link to his  
site:  http://greatbasinrovers.com/catset.html

I've heard good things about the Rocky Mtn springs, too.  Lots of  
Series Trucks up here in the NW US run them.  Of course Wise Owl is  
very close to us here in Seattle...just over the border in B.C.  I  
think they are a good option too.  I just liked the idea of a more  
standard bushing size in the GBR springs.  Although it is a pain to  
get the sleeve out of the spring hangers.
