Done this a few times for the same reason.
1st: Don't sweat the ride. The difference will be unnoticeable.
2nd: I have always replace thenm with the next size up spring pack. Staying with "stock" sized springs. If an subsequent failure occurs, then a road replacement is easier.
3rd: I have ALWAYS needed new Ubolts, as the factory installs ones that are barely long enough for the stock springs. They are riduculously expensive.
4th: Carry one of your old springs with you from now on. This is the surest way to prevent it from ever happening again.
5th: These are the bare necessities at this point. Do what ever else you wallet can afford. Many good suggestions, on how to spend your money. Do what you can while you are at it.
