Default Where to buy new leaf springs?

Ok, I have recently turned my driver's side leaf spring into a W somehow. My 08 only has 27K on it, but the driver's leaf is alrady w'd & causing about 1" of sag. I have exceeded the payload capacity by a fair amount a time or 2 which I feel may have accelerated the issue. Ayway, my solution is to buy new leaf & air bags (air bags since I am leveled & hate the look when I put anything in the bed at all).

I have found 2 sites with reasonable prices on new spring packs.

www.generalspringkc.com offers the standard 2.5" wide 3+1 leaf pack for $129 per side & a HD model which is 2.5" wide 4+1 leaf pack for $139. SHipping is about $70.

The other site I found is www.thesuspensionking.com wich offers the standard for $202 per side & the HD model for $228 per side.

All of the specs for each of these are the same, General Spring is based in Kansas, & The Suspension king is based in PA. Why would general be so much cheaper for what appears to be the same springs?

Anyone else used either of these companies? Or anyone know of another place that sells them?

There are a lot of companies that sell things at different prices but are made from the same manufacture. Their price they sell at can be determined by so many things like how much they bought them for, how badly they want to clear out their inventory, how many they have to sell.
