In Canada. Can't find a truck spring shop who forges springs anymore so they just have a kid on the counter searching part numbers. I think a dorman 34055 is the right one but afraid to order it online because shipping and duty is so expensive crossing the border. Can't get enough specs to see if this # is the right one.
Did you try any of the ones in the search I posted?
That search was limited to your location specified in your information and the results were pretty lengthy.
Your searching for something long, long out of production, most manufacturers (including aftermarket) start taking parts off the books around 10 yrs after the model was discontinued..
Basically "unobtainium" unless you happen to find that little Mom and Pop shop that ordered a set by accident or got stuck with a set after the person that wanted it failed to buy what they ordered.
While many semi truck shops do not "forge" their own springs, they typically know or have a source that DOES. One has to make contact and ASK (call or in person).
Otherwise, all you are doing is spinning your wheels and hoping that you get the "right one" which because you are dealing with a motorhome on some sort of van or truck chassis that has been ultra modified before becoming a MotorHome may end up not being the "right one".
Also just because you have sizes of the springs doesn't always mean a perfect match or they will work as intended. The stiffness of the springs can vary a lot even when they look the same and have the same curve. That is another good reason to dig up a spring specialist, they will be able to fine tune a set to your specific application.
