2001 e250 leaf springs

So I'm starting to do some research on replacing the leaf springs on my 2001 e250 van. currently it has a 3/1 leaf spring setup, and, i feel, are pretty worn. a bit too much bounce in the back going over bumps, and i already replaced the shocks. anyways, i plan on having a consistent 700-1000 lb load, and was wondering what weight rating i should look at installing. (along w recommendations on brands, and a good site to purchase)
any insight is much appreciated.

Give us a call, 1-88-943-8287. We can see what exact leaf spring is on the Van currently and compare some different options in regards to weight capacities. Depending on what is on there right now you may not even need to go to a Heavy Duty spring, just something that factory was able to offer with a higher capacity.
