Lift Question
I have a 2003 Ford Excursion 6.0L EB Edition.
Current Lift installed:
Front:
Rear:
I also have, in the box, a set of ProComp Add a Leaf springs for the rear that I had originally wanted to install but somehow went the direction of the blocks.
Now, I'm not ready to make a change just yet, but I am a planner and next year, I plan on addressing some ride issues. Chiefly I noticed that my springs are tired, especially the rear springs.
I like the ProComp set but, being that I already have a set of 'add a leaf' springs and decent shocks PLUS the fact I feel I need to replace the rusted and wore out rear springs and the kit doesn't come with rear springs, I'm wondering what my best move will be?
Basically, like to have the ProComp set less the shocks and "Add a leaf" that I already have but will also need to replace the rear springs.. I just don't know where to go to source them or what rear spring to get to replace what I have.
I'm wondering what more qualified and experienced opinions suggest? Any thoughts

I would never add-a-leaf...just a band aid on an already bad set of springs in your case.
