Truck & SUV Suspension Parts, Sorted by Year

Truck designs evolve every year, and those changes matter when you’re shopping for suspension parts. A few inches here, a different mounting point there—these details make the difference between parts that fit perfectly and expensive mistakes. At ATS Springs, we’ve been tracking these year-to-year changes since 1941, giving us an unmatched database of knowledge about what fits what.

Why year-specific parts are crucial:

Manufacturers often make mid-generation updates that affect suspension fitment.
Even identical-looking trucks from different years might use completely different parts.
We maintain inventory for vehicles from the classics to current year models.
Our system catches those tricky split-year changes that trip up other suppliers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find out the exact year of my vehicle?

Check your driver’s door jamb for a sticker showing manufacture date, or provide us your VIN. The 10th digit indicates the model year. But manufacture date matters too—a truck built in December might have next year’s parts. That’s why our specialists ask detailed questions to ensure proper fitment.

Do you have parts for vehicles from the 1960s and 1970s?

Yes, we regularly assist customers with classic trucks and vintage muscle cars from these years. Our family business was already well-established by then, and we maintain supplier relationships for older vehicle parts. When original parts aren’t available, our custom fabrication capabilities really shine—we can build leaf springs to original specifications.

Why do parts prices vary so much between years of the same model?

Supply and demand plays a role—parts for common year ranges cost less because manufacturers produce them in volume. Rare years or those with unique specifications cost more. The good news? ATS Springs offers alternatives like custom fabrication or heavy-duty upgrades that might actually work better than scarce original parts.

What years are hardest to find parts for?

Typically, vehicles from the mid-2000s to early-2010s hit that awkward age—too old for dealers to stock parts, too new to have robust aftermarket support. But don’t worry, we specialize in filling these gaps. We maintain inventory others don’t and can fabricate solutions when needed.

Can I upgrade to suspension parts from a different year?

Sometimes, with the right knowledge. Certain year ranges share mounting points and dimensions, allowing for upgrades. For instance, putting heavier-duty springs from a 3/4-ton’s year range on a half-ton. This requires expertise to do safely—exactly what our specialists provide during consultations.

How do year changes affect lift kits and modifications?

Significantly. A lift kit for a 2014 might not fit a 2015, even if they’re the same model. Body styles, frame dimensions, and suspension geometry changes between years all affect fitment. We track these changes and can guide you to year-specific solutions that work properly. Our specialist Junior stays current on which years work with which aftermarket modifications.

Modern vs. Classic Year Ranges

Suspension technology has come a long way, but that doesn’t mean newer is always better for your needs. Modern vehicles (roughly 2010 and newer) often use sophisticated multi-link setups, air suspension options, and computer-controlled dampening. These systems ride great when they work but can be expensive when they don’t. Classic and older vehicles (pre-2010) typically use simpler, more robust designs—leaf springs that last decades, straightforward shackles and hangers, basic but bulletproof engineering. The sweet spot for many work trucks is that late 90s to late 2000s range—modern enough for comfort, simple enough to maintain affordably. Whatever year you’re driving, ATS Springs has parts and the knowledge to keep it on the road.

Tracking Year-to-Year Changes

Here’s something most people don’t realize: manufacturers sometimes change suspension specs in the middle of a model year. You might have an “early 2007” or “late 2007” with different parts requirements. These split years drive people crazy, but we’ve documented them all. Ford’s switch to metric bolts on certain years, Chevy’s suspension geometry changes in 2007, Ram’s progression from leaf to coil springs—we’ve lived through these transitions and know exactly what your specific year needs. This attention to detail is what happens when you’re actual suspension specialists, not just order-takers. When you call ATS Springs, we’ll ask the right questions to nail down exactly what year variant you have.
