I can't help you with that, but in case you didn't know, depending on where you live, there may be a spring shop in your area that can re-arc or install springs on your truck. They will arc them to the height or spring rate you need.

That doesn’t sound a very popular option which is why the price is really high with some people.

Do you know the trucks spring code? I can see what other option you can go with, you should be able to save a lot more money.

(and no, my brother did not pay for the spring, he brought back the truck and said it was "pulling to the left when he picked it up" and it was the alignment shop that pointed out the broken spring. Last time I've ever loaned my truck out).
