Cheapest place for leaf springs?

Where is the cheapest place for stock leaf springs or 3 1/2 inch leaf springs. I could remove the blocks if there cheap enough???

If you're running with blocks now, don't you already have stock springs? Why do you need more stock ones? Anyway, the cheapest place is the junkyard. I've gotten pairs for as little as $30.

If stock ones are half the price I would get them. I really don't do much off roading. The beach sometimes thats it. I didn't want to spend alot of money. I just finished replacing everything in the front end. I could go to the junk yard, but I really dont know what I will get? The truck bounces alot. I have Heckthorn shocks that I installed 3 years ago, so I don't know if thats it either?? I also hear a thump when I stand on the bumper and bounce the truck up and down. Mostly when the truck is on the up motion???

The bouncing is from worn shocks, and the thump may be from a rubber bushing that got spit out somewhere. Check all the shock eyes, spring eyes, and sway bar(s). I have one missing in the front that I should replace...

My first response would be the salvage yards for stocks springs, too. For aftermarket, lifted spring packs, check with Skyjacker or SuperLift in Louisiana. There's National Spring and Eibach, but these first 2 sites deal more with 4x4's! You can only buy spring packs from an authorized dealer, not on the internet. In my opinion, tho, these are the best! When I get my lift from Skyjacker, it will include new rear leaf packs. I don't like blocks!
