    I bought Gabriel ultra ready mounts last year and they’re shot already. Worst $200 spent I wanted to know if I can remove the springs on them and install them on bilstein 4600...

    I would not reuse the Gabriel springs. The springs themselves may be part of why you don't like them. Usually there are plenty of take-offs from new trucks floating around for not a lot of money. You could also get some Eibach springs as well, and you might be surprised that they don't cost all that much.

    Search your year on their website. They make great stuff i just dont know if they make a stock replacement coil. I’ll bet you can find a used set if stock coils cheaper tho. I got my set for $50
