I got mine from 4wheelparts.com, the 2 inchers, with 4 procomp shocks and a steering stabilizer for i think about 560. sits really nice, good ride. they are 5 leaf(stockis 6) so if the springs get saggy over time an addaleaf is an easy addition. On a side note, I have the side to side lean too, makes me crazy, i though new rear springs would help, but nope, just amazing late 80's engineering.

I believe the lean is due to the fuel tank, battery and drivers combined weight. I thought it would go away with new spring, but no. I think the stabilizers are in the 30$ range, but i could be off, it came included in with the shocks. As far as the rearching, ive never ridden in one of these rigs with anything other than my old worn out front leafs or my newer skyjackers, so i have no idea about quality, cost or ride
