OK, here's how it worked out.

Shocks didn't get changed as the shop said they looked like they had been changed out recently and were in good shape. Labor for spring replacement was $360, and this included new leaf spring bolts, nuts etc. that I didn't provide. He had to cut several, cut into the frame so he could get in to recover the welded nut that broke loose, reweld a new nut, etc.

The rear of the car is about 5" or 6" higher than it was.

This doesn't show it well, but a before and after:
