Suspension price question

I looked into getting my leaf springs re-arched and adding leafs to them to raise it 2'' in front and rear. The price I was quoted was 889 for every thing installed.
Is this a pretty good price. I was really hopping to stay in the 500 range

Thanks
Sheldon.

Check my posts, the VB conversion with Ford parts gives almost 2 inch lift with factory designed springs.

Not sure what the spring code is now, think I found a guy to do it for 400, or so. Will check on the vb springs.

You can buy 6" front springs by themselves for about $500.00 (US).
You only want to lift a couple of inches?
Re-arched springs change the shackle angle since the length of the spring stays the same, and the ride suffers.
