They are a really harsh ride. If you can deal with it offroad they come into their own around town!

i can't remember how much I paid for them but I think you would get a set for that.

Just remember to allow extra money for new shocks, extended brake lines, and some poly-bushes when considering lift springs.

Do what I used to do then,

Get a set of rear springs and put the longest leafs into yours, this will give you more lift.

Use rear leafs in the front springs then cut them down, massive lift.

Then just fit rear lift shackles to even it out.

When I did standard springs it was £100 a spring including U bolts and bushes. The fours springs alone were about £350.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
