Charlie, I had a set of springs re-arched for my 1976 Jeep Cherokee (full size) about 15 years ago at Dietrich Spring in Allentown. They were reasonably priced and they lasted at least 4 years until I sold it. I had a plow on the truck and I was pleased with how they performed. I don't know if the Chrysler leaves would be any different.
