I'm sure Marlin has great springs, but I don't think any of them of stock length (I will assume that is what you are looking for). I wanted stock length springs as well so I had Alcan
www.alcanspring.com build me a custom set. My springs actually were a little shorter than expected, so I added a short block to level. See the Rig Gallery for Blackdiamond History for pictures of the old vs. new springs. They ride great. I have Rancho 9000 shocks and when empty I run with them set on 1 of 5 and when I loaded it up for camping I had them at 4 of 5 and it still rode smooth...almost soft. Send Alcan an email, most would agree that for a stock lenght spring that flexes they are the best option.
Here is the link to my pictures...
