Front suspension

I am looking to replace my front suspension on a Ford F250, diesel 1991, it is getting too soft, it is touching the rubber. My local shop wanted to install one more leaf, but someone told me it would not last very long.

I have a camper, weight about 2600 lbs.

Anyone have suggestion on where to buy, best quality / price.

Any advice on replacing, repairing front end suspension.

Well if you replace the springs and want to keep it that height. you could install airbags. but that might compromise the ride quality a little bit. YMMV

Ford has a kit available that is an add-in leaf for the front springs. It is pretty expensive. I would have an extra leaf added by a spring shop if you have one available. The extra leaf is a good fix.
