LEAF SPRINGS

I am looking for someone who can make me some custom rear leaf springs without breaking the bank. I want to eliminate the lift blocks and extra leaves and bolt the springs directly to the rear axle. Any help will be appreciated. I am currently lifted roughly 8 inches. Thanks in advance.

What are these springs for? Sounds like a 350, but...
Post all your specs.

How big are your blocks? Are you running lift springs now? What type of loads to you pull/haul? Lift springs aren't too expensive and there are a bunch of heights out there. Also using stock and aftermarket Super Duty springs may be possible with a couple mods.

I apologize for the lack of specs, It's a 1996 F-250, Dana 60 front axle swap, 460 big block now just a show truck. 8 inches lift on the suspension, 1.5 inches lift on the body.

Most aftermarket companies sell leaf springs arched for more lift.
