Leaf Spring ????Which Ones?

I am in the process of switch the straight axle from my 97 F250 to my 94 F250. Both trucks serve different purposes. I would like to purchase a set of leaf springs to return my 97 F250 7.3 back to stock height or 2 inches above stock at the most. I use the truck for towing and to work when I need it. It will have the twin beam stock axle. Where can I purchase front leaf springs? What shocks do you thing will give me a nice ride? Thanks in advance.

You can use the ones that are in there and use the add-aleaf.
That will return it to stop height with the 250 springs and a d60.

If it has an add a leaf already, go with a set of 350 springs to get a smooth ride.
The 250's springs are actually heavier duty.

Use F250 front springs on the 250 and 350 models. Just make sure the shackles are replaced and the spring bushings are good. Rearch them while out if you can. It helps. Most sagging isn't the springs themselves though. It's the bushings.
