Stock Spring Replacements?

I've been going round and round trying to figure out what to do about upgrading my sagged out leaf springs. The front left en seems to be sagging a bit much and time for bushings as well. Does anyone know a top quality manufacturer of leaf springs for our trucks?

Last I checked Ford still sells tham.

If you want to go aftermarket... Leaf Springs for trucks F150, Ranger, F-250, and F-350

Major, Have u tho about putting a Dana 60 in it. I found it lifted my truck a little and ride is much better. Since ur doing springs u could put F350 springs it with the 60. I do not recomend F250 springs and 60 or F350 spring and the 50. The F250 spring are thicker for TTB flex.

Also not to hijack ur thread but any know where to get front shackel bushing? Ford no longer sells them.

I'd love to put a Dana 60 in but don't have the funds for the axle itself. I looked at some new ones and was floored by the prices I found. They were Currie Enterprises I think.

What is the total cost of putting a 60 in?

I had 500 for axle, 100 for f350 springs! Then 2 months later i put 300 into it for ball joints and u joints. Only thing I wish I did the time I had it on the bench was inter axles seals.
