Default Piggyback soft springs?

I bought the 103mm piggybacks and I can find the soft springs anywhere. Everyone is sold out. Who is stock piling them?

I was thinking of buying those shocks. How do the 103mm fit? Like stock?

I bought the 103mm xd piggybacks and they fit decent.
The front springs rub with 2.2's. The only thing I find is
The medium springs are to hard and soft ones are back ordered
For a while in my area. Any reccomendations on alternat soft springs?

I'm running Proline 6063 rear powerstroke springs on the 103 g-made piggyback shocks. You can get the spring assortment with firm, med, soft. I bought the rebuild kit as well and you can run the duel springs. All you really need is the slider. Works great and looks good too. I think the Proline soft spring is softer than the g-made soft springs. Just another option.

I feel your pain on the back-order thing. Ebay is worth a shot like jeepgeek says. If you know the dimensions and spring rate, you may try ordering from a mechanical components manufacturer like W. M. Berg WM Berg - Springs

Pony, about the proline springs; with them uncompressed (not installed on the shock), are they the same height as the stock spring?

The two springs together are. I have no preload dialed into the shock yet. These are the soft spring set, and like I said, I think they are softer than the soft Gmade set. So if you only run the one spring it will be short, but still usable, just adjust the preload nut down.

Thanks for posting the pics!

Only place i can find the soft gmade springs is the junfac store. I ordered a couple of sets from them, but being in the UK it took almost 2 weeks to get here.
