I am pretty sure that I bought my Timbrens and steering rack bushing kit from them just a few years ago. Are they out of business now? Oh well.
I've had springs from Northwest Offroad Specialties in my truck for the last 17? years and have been very happy with them, They're firmer OME springs but still ride decent with an empty bed and have no problem with a heavy load . They offer several different lifts and spring rates.

I'm pretty sure they still have a showroom and shop on Iowa st. in Bellingham, at least they did last time I drove by there. I didn't know they had such a bad reputation, I bought my springs from them about 17 years ago when I lived in NY, Six months later I was living 25 miles away from them. I always bought my parts from Downey but wanted a heavier spring than I had before. They always felt a little too firm at slow speeds but feel great over 30.
I'm not sure they still have a storefront. I'm on Iowa St almost daily, I'll have to look closer next time. I ordered an alternator from them two years ago and the owner of the shop wanted to meet at the post office parking lot to complete the transaction.
