Looking for some new leaf springs.

I'm looking for some new leaf springs for my 78 F250 supercab and I'm not sure where I should get them from. I've been looking on bronco graveyard but I'm not sure what to buy. Ideally I'd like to have no more that a 4" lift, right now I have an add a leaf setup with one extra in the front and a few in the back (there's 8 or 9 can't remember at the moment) I'm planning on adding a set of firestone airbags in the rear for towing so I'm either thinking 1)To just get a new set of stock ones for the front and rear and add a 4" lift 2) to get a set of those lift springs from bronco graveyard but I'm not sure what I'd need for what I'm going for or 3) Just keep what I have and add the airbags.

What do you guys think and where would you go about buying leaf springs?

The only other place I've looked is LMC.

Add the airbags and see if its what you want...if not then get a 2" lift and put the add-a leafs back in it. You might have a 3" 1/2 when all said and done.

Or just go for it and get the 4" and rock it out.

My 4" actually settled to about a 3 or so. A 4 was a little much, but the superlift 4" settled in really nicely, and the 4" rides A-W-E-S-O-M-E in my f250. I highly recommend it. Good springs, good flex, and easy to correct steering.

Sound about what I'm looking for in height. What was the cost, I just looked on their website and everything says call for pricing and I won't be able to call until tomorrow. What size tires do you have?
