I just looked in my LMC catalog (summer 08) and the 5-leaf pack is $350, the 6-leaf pack is $160 so i don't think it's a typo, i have no idea why there's such a huge disparity in price.

I called LMC, no one could give me an answer as to why the difference in price or could they answer if they were different capacities or even if the bushings were included....
I think I will go with Stengel Bros., they include the eye bushings and they have bolts and all the shackle repair parts, at better prices than LMC and they seem to know what they have.

Those LMC springs are probably made by Chinese prisoners in a forced labor camp.
