I noticed the other day that BJ's Offroad has just announced they're now selling stock springs. They really seem to care bout the community as well as their reputation so it may be something to consider.
Stock springs made by crown that sag? Made in china probably. Unless they recently added dayton springs which i doubt. There are so many variations of springs for the wagoneers. Older ones had 2 front leafs. Some had 5. Newer wagoneers had 7 ect.. i doubt bjs has the american made dayton springs.
I think i was the first here on these forums to find originals and do it. I replaced my springs maybe 4 years ago ? I got them from two sources. But they were both from Dayton parts. Made in PA USA. Here is my thread and pics of install and before and after pics of the lift i gained from old springs

The front springs you want are 7 leaf 97-400 or 97-402 depends on how much much capacity you want them to have. I got 97-402 for more weight capacity. I believe they are 1455 lbs vs factory 1330 or so.
The rear springs are 97-485. 1150lbs 4/1 springs.

In 2020 summer i decided i wanted a lift and 31 inch tires. I opted to go with an add a leaf. It only gave me 1inch though unfortunatly.. i had to go after rustys offroad for that bullcrap they never tested it on new springs.. . I gained only half the advertised lift because those add a leafs are ment for old springs. Since mine were new i gained But that 1 inch but it looks ok... It made the Jeep look good pretty good. Still mad i didnt even get 1.5 or 2 inchs though
This is my Jeep currently. With the 97-402/97-485 and the add a leaf with 31x10.5r15 mastercraft courser mxts on. Based on the way it sits i could probly push 32x11.5r15s but i saw no point in that. I get 0 rub atm
