Not sure about what your shop has? are they a name brand spring or are these custom made from a spring shop? Also depends on what youll be doing with the truck? its hard to beat Skyjacker for there ride and quality.

I had a local shop build my front springs, there a three leaf and there kinda soft for my BB. The leafs are kinda on the thin side too, I'm sure that makes a difference. I think I'm going to go to the Skyjacker 6" or 8's when I get the rear done.
So in short I'd go with Skyjacker.
