Hey Mudder, As the saying goes, "I feel your pain
" I just replaced my 30+ year rear springs last fall. 1/2T springs were $202 plus tax, $90 for new U-bolts and grade 8 hardware, plus I "wussed" out and had them installed. After watching the guy use an impact, pry bars, 3 lb. sledge, a blue-tip wrench and a few cuss words, (more than a few, really) I was glad I let him do it for the $90!! He earned every bit of it ! Grand total of $415 but it sets like it did 30+ years ago.  Did the front springs year before and it was $525. Shopped around and found the better price when it came to the rear.
