135,000 miles.
The only change ive made, had the rear leaf springs re arched a few years ago. It now sits higher in the rear. A little stiffer too.

I think the problem is currently your shocks and fixing that will keep the suspenion off the bump stops, adding those spacers is going to create more problems, namely put your ball joints in a bind and wear them out as well as tire wear cause by camber.

But, when the springs eventually do sag too much what do we do if the springs are not available?
A slightly stiffer spring wouldn't be all that bad, but it would increase the ride height.
Would cutting off a 1/4 or 1/2 turn of the coil to restore ride height work?

somebody must make a replament spring, just need to find it.
go to your local ford dealer and ask the parts manager where they are getting their replacments
i recall the ends of those springs being flat so cutting a taller one will not work.

All my older cars had one end that could be cut off and the other would taper into the previous coil making a flat end.
I found a pink tag on one with the part no. YC35 5310-HA.
It has 10 coils counting the smaller turned in ends.
There's a 5C3Z-5310-HA for a F-250 Super Duty 2011-2018, 2005-2007 6.8L EFI,5.4L, 6.0L Diesel OHV, 6.2L OHC NA, 6.7L Diesel T/C, 5-Speed Automatic Transmission 5R110W listed on FordPartsGiant.com, but no detailed info.

i think we already identified your problem so not sure why you are still grasping at bandaids.

I checked with a local spring shop and they said they found some from here

These seem to be heavy duty and may make the ride much harder...what do you think?
Do you know what the stock coil spring lb. Rating are??

What kind of ride quality will these have?
Will they be stiffer or make the ride harsher?
