Online Source for Replacement Suspension Parts - 2WD

[NPHLYT]

I have a 2003 B2300 that is in need of new front struts and lower ball joints. Since I will have the suspension that far apart I will be replacing the struts, upper and lower ball joints, bearings, seals and brake pads (it is time for them anyway). I will also inspect other linkages while I am there.

My question is, where is the best place to get replacement parts online (not performance or lift)?

Does anyone know how tall the springs are so I can check then to see if they require replacement. There only looks to be an inch or inch and a half of space between the bump-stop and where it stops when at rest on level ground. I will take pictures if this will help. Is it worth it to just replace the springs while I am there? Anything else I should look at?

A lot of auto places sell this stuff. Buy Moog ball joints with the zerk fittings so you can lube them when needed and they are stronger ball joints as well. Autozone...etc has these parts. Check Ebay as well.
If your coil spings are noisy or they are bouncing too much (shocks too) then it is time to replace them.

I will also be replacing the back shocks. Thanks.

I am looking for a one-stop shop for all of this stuff. More than likely I will be going to a local parts store unless I can find a much better deal online.

Another vote for Rock Auto. There's a thread that has a 5% discount code. Copy and paste the code 50146333093553 down in the "how did you hear about us" field, and it gives you a 5% discount.

Thanks to superds for the code:
