Default Leafs need to smile again.

Well, my leaf springs are sad at the moment and im trying to figure out how to fix them. I saw something at autozone when i was just walkin around that is suposed to make em smile again. Has anyone seen these? Sorry i dont have a name for them.

See, Im not to confiedent in JY leags because they are probably older than mine. I was thinking about getting 2 inch leafs and then going 4 all around. Does anyone know where i can get just plain 2 inch lift leaf springs that dont cost $400?

the OME ones on quadratec are like $114 a piece. That's what I paid for mine in the medium duty.
