Crap.

And also what do they cost new??

I had them on for about a month. They give good height, but they make the Disco about as flexible as piece of wood. Id stay away from them, I run OME now, but apparently RTE is pretty decent as well.....

I have the Bearmach HDs with OME shocks and am very happy. Apparently they do not handle as well as the OME springs on road, but do well for me off-road. You need to give them a few months to wear in and then they flex just fine--no rust, and only a little sagging with the extra weight up front.

You should be able to get a set from DAP enterprises for around $240.

I liked them, too (I actually liked them better than the OMEs I ran for 2 years). As its been mentioned -- they will sag eventually -- a lot, maybe as much as an inch in some cases. It's no big deal as long as you're aware and plan accordingly (ie-their "claimed" 3" lift is really closer to 2" once they sag out).

I've been running Bearmarch MDs and have been happy with them. I also run 2" spacers in the rear - the truck sat ass low without them, now it sits about an inch higher in the back when empty.

On and off road ride is excellent, flex is super. I get great travel with the springs fully clamped top and bottom. These springs stretch very well. I have not experienced any sag so far.

I will probably be switching them out for RT 3" springs this summer. I think I will just lose too much height with SG f/r bumpers for these to be useful to me. But so far, they have been great.

I don't know about the their HD springs.
