I want to buy new factory springs for my 89 wag to restore original height and ride. i called espo's springs n things and they need the # of springs in the front and rear. Am i correct in seeing 7 up front and 5 in the rear? Is this what I should order? What else do i need as far as new bushings, ubolts, etc...I'm considering edelbrcok ias shocks or rancho 9000's for mostly on-road driving. Any input is greatly appreciated.

You've got the soft-ride package(7 springs/front). Option pacjages ranged anywhere from 3 to 7 springs for the front. 3 being bigger and stiffer and was for the snow plow option. 7 being smaller springs and a more cushy ride. I think all rear packs were 5 spring though.
You should get new spring bushings with the new springs but also get new shackle bushings as well and new u-bolts.
