1949 F1 Front Suspension Help

My truck needs some help in the front end, of which I was told came out of a 1989 Aerostar, but after ordering the coils for this make/model, found out that these are not the matching coil springs. So measurements were taken and sent to Tuff Trucks and SD Truck Springs who are really interested in large volume jobs, not one-offs... So I am looking for a good suspension shop to help sort out which coils I have and to change them out. The truck drives straight enough, but the fender is not sitting at the same height to the wheel on both sides, and it appears to have been dropped a bit which makes the ride over rough roads something to be avoided lol..

So, a local suspension shop in the Burlington, Ontario/Canada area would be preferred if anyone knows of one or any other approaches to getting improving the front end suspension...

Thanks, Go F1's!

If you have the original coil springs you can probably find what you need at this site
