Front leaf spring failure

Anyone have experience with front leaf spring failure on a 1997 F350 4X4 Powerstroke?
I was thinking about going to three leaf from the orignal 2 leaf.
Any body have springs for sale?

Call a spring shop in your area. Find out what they reccomend for a better replacement. Even if you don't have them do the work, their reccomendation can give you an idea of what to look for at a wrecking yard if you want to do it yourself.

I checked with wrecking yards and good springs are hard to find I looked at 2 sets that were supposedly good springs but mine were in better shape than them.

Found a outfit in Dallas that will rearch my springs and add a leaf for $350. My labor.
