GMC Van’s Heavy Duty Coil Springs from General Spring

When you are outfitting your truck or van to carry heavy loads, you will want to consider adding heavy-duty coil springs behind your leaf springs for added strength and durability. At General Spring, we stock heavy duty coil springs to improve the suspension of vehicles that will be used for farm use, snow plows, RFs and work trucks. You can be sure that the suspension professionals at General Spring can find whatever you need to improve the suspension of your GMC van.

How Do Coil Springs Work?

Most suspensions incorporate leaf springs that attach between the body of the vehicle and the axle. When the wheels hit a bump, the axle will jolt upwards and the leaf springs will absorb the force rather than transferring it to the body. However, if the vehicle is under a heavy load, the springs will be stretched to their capacity and you will feel the hit.

To improve on this common suspension problem, one option is to install coil springs behind the leaf springs. These extremely ridged coils of steel will force the leaf springs down from the body and will absorb a large portion of the load Therefore, the loads will not stretch the leaf springs to their limit and you will not have the bottoming out when you go over bumps or through potholes.
