I have a 47 stylemaster in need of one coil spring. I am wondering the best way to go about matching the one I have. Or just replace both. If I replace both, should I go new or used? If used, is there a easy way to match up coils for fit and ride?

ITSA47,
I have a 47 Fleetmaster, and I would definetly replace both at the same time. You may have a problem just replacing one. One side will have the strong new coil, and the other side will stay where it is. I replaced both of mine at the same time with a pair from chevs of the 40s as mine was leaning to one side. The fit great, and brought the ride height back up perfectly. I think they were around $110.00 for the pair. part# 3694612
