anyone else breaking a lot of front springs?

Just this morning the driver side front coil spring on my 86 5ktq snapped
the top coil off.  This is the 3rd time this happened to me in 3 years.
What the hell is going on?  Car is pretty much stock - brakes, wheels,
proper size tires, no fancy sway or strut bars.  When the first one broke, I
got a pair of them from an auto wrecker and I am sure they came off a 5kt
(no q), but they told me that they were interchangeable.

I know a couple listers have posted in the past about broken springs, but
anyone else with so many? and no, I do not drive like a maniac, or offroad
or anything like that.
