Rear spring replacements?

I recently bought a 10' camper, about 3K+ wet. It really brought out a problem I had been suspecting, with my rear springs. The drivers side rear sits 1.5-2" lower than the pass. I do have the factory overloads but they are only touching on the low side. Does anyone know where I can get some good replacements? I would prefer stock to 1" of lift. I would even consider a good set of used springs. Any suggestions?

I have always had my best luck at a good spring shop. They can do things to your springs that will give you a certain ride height and carry almost any load, and level out your truck carrying an uneven load. After the job is done it will be one price and it is the way you want it the first time, not 3 or 4 sets of springs later it is still not quite right.

It's not that the load is uneven, one of the springs is toast. So what $$$$ are you guys spending for a custom pair of springs?

I paid 350.00 for my front spring packs on my 92. that's 2.5 inches over stock. Benz springs had mine done in a few day's.
