As usuall right on charlie. Unless your springs are completely shot, it's probably cheeper to have them rebuilt. Alaska spring did mine with new bushings,, re-arched, added a leaf, new clips and pins for about $100 for both (i think...). You could just as easily leave out a leaf or two, and do the rest with them re-arched to restore proper ride height and get a softer ride. Also, leaving off clips can reduce stiffness while maintaining overall total load carying.
