just to take what easy said a step farther, keep an eye out at the scrap yard you deal with i bought a set of 3/4 ton springs for my old chevy from the local scrap yard at scrap value(at the time it was like $8 per side or something like that) super cheap and if you dont need to keep your 1/2 ton springs throw them back in the scrap pile and you'll prolly get most of your money back.
i took them off right there in the yard too it was funny cause the guy was like its going in the shredder before i leave today (it was like 5mins after 4 when i asked the guy about them) so i just went out there with my portable band saw and cut the heads off the spring shackle bolts and ubolts and threw the springs back in my trailer (its really convenient if the yards flips the cars over like mine does to remove tires and gas tanks)
just a thought maybe you get lucky and someone will haul in an old work truck you can pull the springs off of.
