Looks like $259 each if you get the F150 springs, $299 each for the F100. Plus hangers, bushings, bolts, etc. etc. etc. SPENDY!

spendy is what I thought. JBG with $90 in shipping is still cheaper. Thing that worries me is the drastic price difference, the description says bronco/f150/f250. However, the weight rating is higher than others(LMC, rock auto). How do they ride?

I've run into the same problem. I have 3 4WD trucks out here with the 3" wide springs. I'm going to make 2 good sets from everything I have and use those till I can afford the bucket full of cash it costs for new ones. >.<
