They are 1/2" dia X 1" length ......oooppps , we're Canadian but I'm old

They are 12mm X 25mm......

After I sent you the link, I ended up ordering another set for my rig.
A set of four, out the door for fifty bucks, can't go wrong.

I know what your thinking Allen,
Ya, 1/2 shrink tube would slip over and then maybe a hair dryer on hot instead of a lighter or small torch. Could probably get it to shrink more evenly with a hair dryer?

I've come across sites with various springs, can't think of it right now. I'll let ya know if I find it. Sorry, didn't realize you we're just looking for the spring

I know this is an old post but thought I would give my 2 cents worth about these shocks. I bought some of these and put them on my Knight Hauler...looked great but I didn't like the stiffness of them. I guess if you are hauling really heavy loads they might be just what you need. I tried adjusting them all the way to a softer setting but still a little stiff. They do look good though. Still looking for something better that has a little more give to them for my highway runner.

Did you try them with the spring removed and only on the oil shock ?
Your right though, best use is for heavy loads. I haul my 40lbs excavator and lowboy. The springs turned up help keep the suspension from bottoming out.
The dump truck also has them because without, the stock suspension can't handle a load and drives around with axles on the rails.
