im not sure if any old fords came factory with helper springs, but i see a lot of them at junkyards. they are a spring that sits on top of the spring pack in reverse, and have their own bumpstops in between the hangars. I dont know if those would work with the lift but they work quite well with factory set-ups, I would recommend either the air-bags or heavier 3/4 t leafs.

Helper springs can make for a rough ride when the truck is empty as well as limit suspension flex and travel. This can have negetive results if you spend time in the off road. Airbags are the way to go and I belive can be fitted to quick disconnects for off road use.
