I need new springs, price is a huge factor and I dont need shocks or want a lift.

*** for no lift, all springs will give you a bit of a lift, at least and inch or more simply because your old factory coils have long since collapsed.
I would suggest you consider the OME medium duty coils to give a good ride and not over lift you.

RE: springs
Yeah I know that new springs will make the truck taller, but new "stock height" springs are a better fit for me as opposed to the "lift" springs.
Now as for the weight ratings Mike, what do you mean exactly?
When I tow my trailer I keep the weight over the trailers axle, I am fat, but not THAT fat. I will be putting a ARB or similar type of winch bumper on sometime in the distantfuture and a safari roof rack.
Right now price is a huge factor, in a year it shouldnt be.
Should I just go with the factory springs to get me buy? Or buy these blue ones?
I am open to all suggestions.

As for the replacement springs, even going back to stock factory springs will lift the truck an inch or more because of the drop in your current coils.
As for the price, For $60 more, you cna buy the OME's from Tony for $160 an axle for either of the colis for a Disco.
You might also consider buying a used set of OME springs. I have picked up 4 or 5 set in the last 6 months for friend and since they really don't settle like the factory springs, you can get a good deal in the $150 range for all 4 coils.
