Thats a pretty good price for custom springs, I got my skyjacker springs from 4 wheel parts wholesalers for about 320, but they supposedly gave me a better price since they quoted me the springs for the gas engine on the phone, dumb newbies at these places. So I wouldn't pay more than 350 for the set including new bushings.

Same place I got mine at too. They were the cheapest I could find. True they were some idiots to deal with on the phone but the order worked out great and no complaints.

Oh yeah, and when I got the spring out of the ware house from 4 wheel parts, they gave me the 4in lift so needless to say when I went to put them in they weren't fitting very good, so I had to take them back and get the right ones!

I also found a place that has factory replacement leaf springs and they were fairly cheap, I don't remember exactly but I think they were about 100 for the pair. I'll see If I can find the site they were on.

I would be carefull ordering from summit, call before you order, there are different spring packs for if you have a diesel or a gas engine, and I didn't see them make any distinctions

I don't think so, I still think the diesel and gas 350 had different springs, or at least from skyjacker, I would just make sure that they are designed for the diesel since skyjacker has the regular spring pack and the diesel spring pack.

Now it's my understanding the Spring Steel is not something that is generally not bent to create an arch due to its memory. However, we have a good local spring shop here, Deaver Spring. I'll call them on Monday and ask them about replacing the main leaf.

My front springs currently have a negative arch, maybe I can replace the main leaf and flip the other leaves upside down for a positive arch LOL.
