Returning truck to stock front springs.. suggestions?

My truck rides like crap with a 4" skyjacker spring lift. Im getting a DR 4.5" drop kit so it will still be lifted BUT with stock springs.
The problem is i need the stock springs. Anyone selling stock diesel springs for my truck or know what spring code i should order for f-250 with the plow package... i want the heavier duty spring that came stock.. Thanks!

I have stock springs in the shop, they are sagged and make the truck look horrible, however i do have them. With the 4.5" kit it would probably only net you 2.5-3". If you have tires to fit the bill, i'd go with a leveling spring kit, with thinner multiple leaves (5 instead of 2) that make the ride alot better. But, that would put you at 6.5" lift and then the rear will ride stiff with an add-a-leaf.

I had my set of front and rear springs and all the accessories (shocks, u-bolts, nuts, pitman arm, etc...) in my garage until just reciently. They had lass than 1000 miles on them and looked brand new. I gave them away to another member just to get them out of the garage. He put them on his X. He had to drive to my house to pick them up since they were extremely heavy. He stuck them in a trunk of his car and I was surprised that the car did not sag.... Replacement spring for the price of a fillup, not a bad investment.

He said that they fit Purrrfect.
