Need 66 Newport Leaf Springs

I was suprised to see that they are even reasonably priced except for the damn shipping, which of course is out of thier control. I'm going to take mine off this winter and see if they can be rebuilt. The main leaf seems to be cashed but the rest of the spring pack is fine. I have a buddy that owns a spring shop here in the Detroit area and he said to take them off and bring them in and they should be able to take care of them for around $150.
 
I have seen them at Carlisle before but that may have been at the Spring or Fall show. Really, shipping is that expensive?
 
Shipping to the Detroit area was $85.
 
Still try to work with what I have first and hopefully not regret it.

A google search of spring repair shops in your area, or check with truck repair shops.
I lived in the Detroit area long ago and I used to take my springs to a place called "Red's Springs". On Telegraph in Dearborn Heights. They would custom build a set of springs to whatever specs you wanted. It helps to know the spring load rate, (found in the spec section of your manual).
$150.00 sounds like the going rate these days, including bolts and bushings.
