I wasn't even attempting to guess at the price of parts to do it right w/ springs, but thought a pair of blocks and shackles don't seem to be worth "$400.00 to $700.00."

At the same time I'm nervous about the fact that I can wiggle the blocks on mine and don't think that's how it should be. Also the spring plates, (well, they aren't plates on mine) don't look right at all. By spring plates I mean the bits of metal that sit on the rear spring that the U-bolts attach to.

Sorry Bill, I'm hijacking your thread here... I'll be quiet.
