Buy leaf springs for 260 dollars?

Hmm... I think your going about this all wrong.

Spend a little more if a new leaf pack is what you want and sell the other shocks

Definitely replace the rear new springs and even add a block if you need to. I know we are all looking for a deal, but $266 for leafs, sounds a bit shady. I would look into that a bit more!

OK, I'll stop by my shop to see if they're willing to buy them back.

How much lift do you want? do you currently have a lift or is it stock? if you get the right amount of lift, then you wont need blocks in the back unless you choose to go bigger down the road. I am running 33"s with a 3.5" lift and cut fenders front and rear. I dont have any rubbing issues and its also a short arm lift with plenty of flexing for me.
