86's are ~$85 each
87's are ~$43 each

This is before whatever s/h charge they come up with. My 88's ended up being ~$110 shipped for the pair.

They help control the extra body roll I have from running no sway bars. They don't flex as much as I'd like in the front, but I figured they'd be a little stiff. I bought them with the idea that I'd have a winch on the front eventually.

I may put my 84's back in with a small spacer to get the lift I have now but get a little more squish in the front until I add some weight.

I'd probably get 87's if you're not planning on adding much weight to the front of your rig... although the difference may not be much.

:Iagree: the differance isn't really that much between 88 and 87, and IMO unless you are stacking a ton of weight on the front of the truck adding stiffer springs will only take flex away and the name of the game is to try and keep all four on the ground. There are other ways to get a truck in the air that won't take so much flex away. But in your area if things are fairly flat then you might be able to get away with stiff springs where I am at I need all the flex I can get so untill I am ready to stack a ton of weight on the front of my truck the stiffer springs stay off.
