Hi I have an 80 pickup 4speed diesel and need to replace the struts and springs. I also have an 81 finally died after swimming in the ocean and I replaced the struts 2wice with the one available here in canada. They really were not that good so I need to know if there are some heavy duty ones out there in America that I can order. Thanks

Use KYB Gas-A-Just for struts, they are sold all over the world. They are the best for the money. Springs rarely go bad.

struts don't go bad on rabbits too often as long as you make sure the suspension stops and shields that keep the dirt out of the shock seals are ok. i only use german parts on this application and i have never seen them come back bad. i suspect you didn't put in the shiels/stops when you replaced the struts?
