Lift Springs??

hey all,
ive been looking at my leaf springs and noticed that they are flat and almost have a negative arch to them. So im thinking about getting some lift springs to replace my stock ones....so what are some good brands that arnt to expensive? One of my buddies told me that he has seen a set somewhere online for like $110 a spring? by the way Im looking for about 2-2.5 in of lift. thanks for any, and all help.

are you saying you need 2-2.5" lift to get level, or you want the rear that much higher than stock?
big difference...

sounds like you want stock springs now, to balance the shackles.

well, stock springs would put you at stock height...
and then factor in the lift from the shackles.
