Rear spring issue

I have about 185K on my truck. It has had a 3/4" lean to the drivers side for over 2 years now. Probably longer but that is when I got the truck. I have read there was some sort of recall on this where the dealer would put a spacer under the driver side leaf to level it out. The rear springs have excessive bounce when you drive over bumps or man hole covers. It has become worse over the last 8 months. I have replaced the shocks with KYB gas charged shocks thinking it was the shocks and nothing changed. So I went to the local spring shop yesterday and the guy behind the counter said I need new springs. He says this is very common and he orders the springs by the pallet load because he sells so many of them. $235 each and it will be better than new. ouch!

Does this sound right? Has anyone had this issue?

So since I am cheap I jumped online and did some searching. I found this:

Has anyone delt with company? I dont want to be buying springs again but this bouncing is driving me crazy!!

Please help
