Well for most of us truck springs end up being too heavy to work without a powerhammer or striker.

If it's just a scrap yard take the tools and remove them from the vehicles *SAFELY*. If it's an auto yard then the ones associated with specific vehicles will cost more than random ones found in the weeds.

Be Safe!

I had a student who worked at a place that did ambulence conversions from brand new trucks and the first thing they did was to drop the old springs and install a better set. They discarded the old ones and I soon had a lifetime supply---so check out any local place that does suspension work.
