I can't say for certain, but scanning RockAuto under 2000 Crown Vic, I am seeing Moog springs advertised again. 




Those Moog 9046 springs are the base model Crown Victoria springs and are only rated at 421 in/lbs.  

RockAuto only shows the LESJÖFORS 4127547 available for the CVPI. 

The husky springs, part number SC20102are no longer in stock either.

Eaton can probably get the CVPI springs too.

Hmm, RA has a rear spring similar to the AC Delco, and a non police front, but no heavy duty one at the moment.

Do you know what that progressive rear spring is like, it states .59" wire and about 163lb per inch rate?

Found Lesjofors rear spring part#4427502 on Rockauto for $93.79 a pair. Has a wire diameter .620”, outside 7”, inner 5.25”, height of 15.24”. Pigtail is similar to the cargo coils I removed. Rate should be 150-170lbs.

Replacing center diff. Pilot bearing on pinion was bad and ring gear had chipped tooth. Upgrading to a 31 spline diff and axles. Also adding Spohn upper and lower control arms, KYB shocks, PMT sway bar.

Very good, shame you had a bad pinion bearing, but that's a good plan to improve things.
