Help with coil springs

My old coil springs were getting saggy and need to be replaced. I want to put some 8-10 inch lift coils in. Summit sells em for $200. This is for a 1978 f-150, 4wd. Does anyone know where I can get em new for a little cheaper? Thank You.

I bought springs fro NAPA. They have lift springs listed in their counter catalogue. I am not sure what height. I have been very pleased with the quality. The Standard height for a 77 were 77.50 per pair so not too bad.

Your going to be better buying a complete kit from a manufacter you have to drop all the axle mountig points the same amount as the spring lit or your tires will be slanted top of tires leaning out with 8" springs you would be riding on the side walls.
