Leaf Spring Replacement Cost?

Does anyone know the cost of replacing the rear leaf springs on a 2003 W22 Workhorse chassis (parts and labor). I just returned home from a 5,700 mile trip and during the past few weeks of the trip, I noticed my MH was one inch lower on the passenger side. It has been inspected and there are no visible cracks in any of the springs. My guess is the right side springs are getting weak and starting to sag. The weight distribution is good. I do not want to put air bags or SumoSprings on it to level the ride because that is just a band-aid approach. My motorhome has 62,000 miles on it. I've search the forum, but could not find any recent posts regarding the cost.

Do a internet search for re-arching leaf springs and maybe add your zip code or city.

As Dunner mentioned.
Keeping in mind you will be looking for a truck/heavy truck location. They can see if replacement is required or re arching is possible. If you want to replace they would be able to do it. Sometimes springs can get pricey.

The spring will be the cheap side of this problem, and the labor is going to hurt. The Spring should be somewhere around 4 to 5 hundred, Have no clue how much labor, just all depends on how long it takes them, plus plan on some new u bolts as well!
