for a pick up i would expect them to be firmer they maybe have had a hard life carrying heavy loads and are now shot

IIRC.. the gen factory westies had a stiffer spring..... could be wrong though...

Westies just run normal everyday "Blue" front springs.

The rear springs are also maked blue, same as Caravelles and that.

Thats the general rule anyway, obviously there are exceptions.

I have "pooh" loads of them.
