Source for stiffer rear leaf springs?

[on2wheels]

I would like to replace the rear leaf springs of my '94 Grand Caravan with stiffer ones. With the current stock setup I hit the bump stops in corners frequently, and often grind my 2" receiver hitch into the ground. I am looking for a set up that would raise the rear end about an inch and increase the spring rate some.

Does anybody know of a good source for quality, heavy duty, drop in replacement leaf springs that would fit the Caravan? I can do the installation myself but want springs specifically made for this vehicle, not some one size fits all with a little drilling, welding, and bending, kit. I would prefer not to use an add-on leaf.

I also could use some recommendations for the rear shocks, and front struts, since I will be replacing these as well.

I don't know of a source for stiffer rear springs, but here's an idea;

I replaced the sagging front springs on my 95 Grand with Moog Car-Go coils, and the front end lifted so far that the rear had that "dead body in the hatch" look.

After much searching (seems like only the most determined folks modify Caravans) I found that the good old boys at Hellwig make helper spring kits, in either half or full length size, which fit Caravans.

I bought the half leaf EZ-550 kit, and for a very reasonable $35 delivered, you can adjust the amount of boost that you would like, adding up to 550 lbs in cargo capacity (allegedly). And the job is much easier than a spring replacement.

Good luck! Carl

Where did you get your helper springs? I was quoted $170 for the Hellwig EZ-550's at the local truck accessory store, and that was if I installed them.
A local autoparts store quoted me $40 for a pair of generic mini-pickup helper springs but I am a little skeptical of the quality and fit I would get with those.
Let me know if you know of someplace I could mail order the Hellwig's from at a cheaper price.
Thanks again
