Default Spring manufactures?

i am in the process of finding new rear leafs for the Wife's XJ, i thing the 250k on the original ones is enough. anyhow i priced new at the local stores and been quoted 205.00 ea. new.... "ouch" so i call the spring shop and they can re-arch them for 100. each. still way to much.
anyhow i have been searching the net and found some Dayton springs for 89.00 each plus shipping 775# load my question is are these good springs? or should i look elsewhere, and if so what manufacture should i be looking for?

if you are not going for any lift...buy these. they also offer a heavy duty for towing (extra leaf) add a Budget boost and you get a true 2" plus lift also. The company is Crown and they make a lot of OEM stuff for your Jeep.
