Ford F250 / F350 Add-A-Leafs 1973-1997 by Tuff Country #82250
All thought the option that Rodney listed is not a bad one. That is if there is a shop around. We dont have such around these parts

Same here. No spring shops around. The truck has an add-a-leaf already and is sitting 1.5" from the stops and needs shackle bushings to boot on both sides.
Anyone know the height of the front end with OEM 43-498 springs ?

I just put new front springs and shackles in, and if I remember right, I have about the same from the stops. About 1.5". I was at about 1/2"..
General Spring offers leaf springs, coil springs, add a leaf, leveling kits, timbren
I got my 550 rears and all shackles and bolts from this guy, but got my fronts and ubolts locally

Greg, I put in the 43-498's you mentioned. Here's a link to my thread, some good info from a couple guys (Pete and Rodney) on the first page

If you wasn't in Oregon, I'd sell you the F-250 springs I'm going to be taking out of my truck in the next week or so. They have a Rough Country add-a-leaf in them and it rode good when they were on the TTB front suspension.
I'd still sell them to you if you want to pay shipping.
