Overload spring setup

My F250 has a single overload spring from the factory. I went to the bone yard and picked up another set so that the truck does squat as much when loaded. My problem is the stud in the factory spacer between the main pack and overload spring isnt long enough to support the extra spring and the top plate the u-bolts go through. Went to my dealer and the parts guy said Ford never put dual overload springs on a '90 F250. I told him he was wrong that I have seen them. So, my question is, does anyone know the part number for the correct spacer block I need?
Thanks

If you need a longer stud "the one that is pressed in" just knock it out, get a piece of stock and cut it to the length you need, drive it back in.

Actually this pin is part of cast spacer between the main spring pack and the overload spring.
