help with leaf srings
aiight, im starting to search for custom 12" leaf springs. so far, ive come up with little to nothing. i found national spring, and a pair of 12'' springs was like 1300 bucks. thats just a tiddly bit out of my price range. common sense would tell me that no companies make a kit that large, so do any of you guys know a place to get custom 12'' springs for a bit cheaper than what ive found, or is this pretty much the standard price?
oh, the truck is a 97 f350 4x4. and i have considered doing a shackle flip with a 6" lift package, but id still like to know if those springs are available.
thanks.

if you dont mind some fab work (dont kid yourself, if you dont know how dont try it!) you could net 6" pretty easy without buying too much!
i know you could get 12" out of the front by doing shackle reversal (6") and then get 6" lift springs and that'll prolly level out to abour 11".
the rear i'm not sure about with leaf springs. but a bag system in the back you could get 12" easy!
