I’m ready to bite the bullet on a new suspension. Looking for input on either Kaiser, Walcks, or piece one together using St. Louis Springs? I’m not off-roading just cruising around town.

  I’ve installed several sets of Walcks’ springs and I and my customers are more than happy with them. They are USA made and very good quality. 
  I dont know about those offered by K-W. I would suspect Onix-ADA.

Yes mine purchased from KW are Omix made in India. 
They seem OK but I only have the krusty stock tapered leafs to compare them to. 

My only gripe is that the military wrap is oversized and interferes with the Big Willy 1/2" lift shackles.

I have the Walck's springs on my current build. No miles yet. They appear to be very good quality and I have no resevations. 

My only worry is the shocks furnished with the kit. They are barely long enough to span the gap at rest, leaving no down travel. i can only assume the springs will settle some and all will be well.

I got mine from Walck's and have been very satisfied. No issues with either the springs or the shocks.

Looks like I’ll go ahead and place an order with Walcks 😎

Thanks for the input!
