JC Whitney rear leaf springs?

how bad of an idea is it to run 40 dollar JC Whitney leaf springs? Anyone have any experience with them? I need to get rid of my sagging springs and 3 inch blocks. I figure stock hieght springs and 2" shackles would ride and flex better, but how long would JC springs last and how poorly will they ride? thanks!

Get the 2" add-a-leafs and new rear shocks. My brother has/had an 86 with the sagging rear springs. I put the 2" add-a-leafs on it and new shocks and it sits perfect and doesn't bottom out any more. $40-$50 is about right for the leafs. I ordered them through Performanceproducts.com. I have them on my truck aswell and really like them. They are great if you are ONLY trying to remove the sag.
