Default McGaughy's 2" lowering leaf springs

does anybody know where to find these or where to find some used ones? i have only found one shop that carry's them and they are $200 each which seems high to me. dont know if that is the norm. i can only find complete kits and only need the leaf springs. I bought the eibach shackle/spring drop kit and I need a few more inches out of the back to get it level. it was supposed to be a 2/3 drop but the back is still 2 inches higher and i think the truck would look great level (yes i know i should have done more research before pulling the trigger but i didnt realize how high these trucks sit.. lesson learned). Anyway i am looking for an inexpensive way to get 2 more inches out of the back.. thanks in advance for the help!!

2/3 drop. eibach spring in the front and drop shackle and block removal in the back. so if i could find 4" drop springs for a decent price i could put the stock shackle back in. I know the 2" exists i just dont want to pay $400 for 2 more inches. I'll probably just call around on monday. i was just seeing if anyone on here knew of a shop.

I paid $240 for my used McGaughy's Lowering Leafs so $400 new sounds about right.

I don't find many places selling them new even, I just looked around everywhere to find used ones.
