Ok I want to left my truck about 3" , I know I can machine some bokck and do it that way, but left by bouck is not good for the spring and look cheap.. What Im looking for is some recurved ( Deeper curve ) spring to replace my leaf springs with.. So if anyone know wher I can find some would be helpfull

To lift your truck with deeper-curved springs, just take it to a local spring shop. They can make up new leaves that give just the lift you want. I have had very poor luck with ordering springs by mail or over the internet, they never seem to be completely correct, and who knows what weight they are designed for? I had a pair for a ****** Utility that were so stiff I couldn't get them installed, they were like bar stock, on a truck that only weighed 3100 lbs.
Personally I would stick to 2" lift to avoid other problems (short brake lines, driveshaft geometry problems, etc), although you'll need to check those even with 2". Your truck's handling will suffer, too.

ya.. I know about checking that the geometry, thats not a real problem intill I past 4" on the set up.. I can machine a wedge for the rear end to reset the proper geometry and I can cut and Add .08mm to the drag link, brake line np ether.. Spring shop in town.. and a bunch of hacks that way overcharge.
