Between Mopar performance HD springs or ESPO, which do you like, what was your experience? Thanks in advance.
 
My local spring shop.
A previous owner had installed new springs, front and back, on my camper van. B200. I had the spring shop add an extra leaf to the rear springs to lift it about one inch in the rear. We are heavy at around 6600 pounds loaded.
 
I bought my Mopar Performance springs from Summit Racing back in 2014. Very happy with them. P4452982 & P4452983

I bought the mopar super stock leaf springs, and I've been very happy with them. Makes the car feel nice and solid.
 
Can you guys expand on the good or bad experiences with the mopar HD leafs or the ESPO.
 
I have Mopar Performance 3800 lb. SS springs in my 1967 R.T, and and am finding they are doing a reverse bend at the shackle ends, causing the ride height of the car to sag. I will get them rebuilt at a local spring shop.

Used one set of MP springs and they sagged after two years. Done three cars with ESPO springs and they hold up great. I like the 6 leaf HD stock height. At first they are up an inch or two but they settle in nicely.

mopar hd bought for challenger and felt like they were like the 50 years old shot ones,Espo i bought and was very happy and great customer service. The mopar hd are made in mexico and are still laying on the ground in the backyard. Free to anyone.
 
I had Mopar HD leafs on my Satellite. They sagged pretty quickly. I replaced them with Espo +1" GTX spec springs last year and am very happy with them.

I ordered mine over 10 years ago from Espo. She asked me if I had 5 leaf or 6. I said 5 not remembering the HD suspension option. I put the 5 leaf set on and didn't look back. It still sets and rides nice. Big tires help the look.
