Looking for new stock springs

Hi, Im looking to replace my stock springs in the back but I can't seem to find them locally or abroad at a good price. Any suggestions? I'm on a budget so im not looking for a lift kit or ad-a-leafs.

Thanks,

Mike.

You cant get much cheaper than add a leafs

If you put new springs on the rear only it will sit like a drag car.

Some go down the re arching route but its not a long term fix.
If the budget wont stretch I would go for the add a leaf.

go with an ome light or belton. It's really not going to give you that much lift. I guess it'll seem like alot after old tired flat springs. Man-a-fre has stock height springs for $105. You could try the local spring shop and see how much it is for a new set.
