I bought Alcans and it was $1500CAD (4) springs inc. shipping.

Two springs would be less but shipping is a killer coming north across the border.

I just bought those custom springs from canada. They are on the way. I had them make up a set of 0 lift parabolic tapered springs at stock length as well so it would use the stock shackle. They are big rig tech scaled down for pickups.

I love my springs, I did my entire truck with these guys and I have to say they do awesome work. They are very stiff at first but once they settle it's a really nice ride.
