Allen,

I had the exact same problem when I first dug mine out of a 15+ year slumber.
I replaced them with springs from Moss Motors twice and it kept sagging and
sitting low.  I posed the question to the group and was advised to contact
Jule enterprises up in Canada.

A few weeks later she was sitting at the perfect height and has ever since for
10 years now....

Call Jule!!

Good luck!
