changing suspension

i have a 96 f150 eddie bouer edition. i only have 3 leaf springs on each side. i want to add at least 2 more to each side for a total of 10 or five on each side. i dont want to put them on there and it sit unlevel. i was wondering how or even where to begin to add the leaf springs but also make the front of the truck level. the truck sits level now. it a 2wd truck 5 speed, manual transmission.

Adding leafs to the stock spring pack will raise the back end.. nothing you can do about it, so you want to use a different type of add-a-leaf system like those from Helwig. I have the EZ-990 on my truck and it doesn't affect the unloaded height at all. Load Control | Hellwig Products
