Need new rear leaf springs in Vancouver, Canada

Good evening!
I just bought a 92 pickup which has some very tired rear leaf springs that will need to be either reconditioned or replaced. I have checked with a local 4x4 shop who quoted a suspension upgrade to the tune of 1700$ for parts alone, ouch! I really just need some new leaf springs as I will be using the truck mainly as an off road camping and light work vehicle. Does anyone have any suggestions for reasonable shops (online or local) that sell leaf springs in Canada?
Thanks!
 
Yup, been asking around at a few local spring shops, recommended by friends and my mechanic. We are working on getting quotes and an idea of what is available, hence why I was asking here as well.
 
Kirsten, call Dentoni's in Sacramento Ca. Tell them your application and daily usage and they will set you up. They have served me well for years when I owned my towing company with many many cars and trucks, and they do custom set ups as well.
 
Dentoni's is a great shop, but she's in Canada. I would think you could get two custom made stacks for less than $500...
 
The springs are in good shape, just very flat. I found a shop a few towns away which will re-arch them and add an overhaul leaf for 525$, which was cheaper than new springs (around 800-900$). Thanks for the input!
 
That's including labour for the install of the new leafs, though. The first shop I went to quoted me 243$ before tax for each spring on their own, so if you can install them yourself it won't be so bad.
 
I was just quoted $140 to add one leaf to both stacks. If he does the install $240. I will definitely save the 100 bucks and take them in myself. He told me it would add about 600 lbs capacity and lift the back end about 1 1/2". This will be my first real upgrade.

No, it wont change the payload 1lb.
It will make the truck carry its rated payload easier tho.
