Rear Spring options

Hey Guys, I'm getting ready to replace or rebuild my rear leaf springs (9 leafs)
due to the fact that they don't match so the truck sits low on one side. I cant find a 9 leaf set on the internets and was wondering if another truck model of any year would crossover.

The other idea I have is to disassemble both spring sets and mix and match them back together to get a level truck. Your thoughts please.

1957/67 F100 rear springs interchange, you have a choice of 5, 6 or 9 leaf.

Hope you can find a local spring company and give the work to them and save on shipping.. I just have 6 leaf and they were $85 each about 15 years ago so I can only guess what they cost today..
