    Anyone know the cost of rear springs generally? Went to local spring shop and he would make me a pair from scratch..............for $250................each! Thought that might be a little high as opposed to having some shipped to Alaska. Maybe there is a spring Mfg that I could get a quote from. Any help is appreciated as usual. Mac

    Couple recent pics..........painting isn't perfect, but wasn't nearly as
    hard as I thought.

    Yep, JC Whitney has em cheap as anyone, and good quality. I got the 4-leaf for a 1/4" lift :16suspect

    Actually, noticed no lift. But they ride a lot nicer than my worn out stock 3-leafs...

    As everyone said, JC Whitney - excellent replacements made in spring shops here in the USA.

    DO NOT order spring shackles from JCW - they are made in India and are horrible quality.

    ESPO and Eaton are gonna be more expensive (if they have 'em).

    And yes, do not get shackles from JCW. The springs are excellent though...

    Man if I painted a car outside like that around here they would lock me up and throw away the key. I would have thought Ak would be worse on air polution. Good job by the way and good luck.
