i didn't think that was worth it. since you have lift springs it would probebly cost more.anywho there is a place in abbotsford called the abbotsford spring shop, they are in the book.

That is WAY TOO MUCH MONEY!!!!! for 4 springs. I had my rears re-arced and an extra two leafs added to give me a 4" lift. That cost $175 including all u-bolts and nuts. I had mine done a Coast Spring and Axle in Langley.
Another place that might be a little more $ but a nicer ride would be T&S Suspension in Langley as well. Coast didnt use any teflon pads on mine or new leaf wraps. When I Talked with Dave there, he said he could have given me a better ride for just less than $200.
I have had mine for about 3yrs now and would guess they have only sagged .5" at most. They were pretty stiff for the first 1.5yrs but have softened up nicely now. They also have some pretty good flex for a 6-pack. I have also had them weighted down pretty good a couple times as well. I was initailly told not to do a re-arc because they will sag back to normal in no time and you will lose your ride quality. I disagree and think its a good cost effective way to get a lift or better ride.
But since you are only re-arcing and not adding I wouldnt think it would cost more than $125/pair
