Here's where I got mine. Ford Add-A-Leafs - www.jackit.com - The Suspension Experts.
I am not able to pull it up right now, but you could call. I know the kit included a drop bracket for the drag link, two spring packs, new u-bolts and hardware. I don't have any idea how much the total was, too long ago.

Pete, I have the Donahoe mini-spring pack kit that I had purchased for my 2001 F250 4wd but never got around to installing it before I sold the truck; I now own an 01 F350 Dually which I do not need to lift in the front. I researched this issue fairly extensively and decided that the Donahoes were the best bet. It will provide a 2.5 inch lift and retain the original ride feel. PM me if you are interested; it's sitting here brand new in the box.

Mine is pretty unruly too, I thought I would try in case you weren't interested. I hope it helps. I was thinking of just going with X codes, I plow with mine. Although I have heard that it makes for a rough ride without the plow weight.

Couldn't we rig up airbags for the front, there is 5-6" of room. I looked at mine and it looks possible. The rear airbags were simple.
We just have to make a mount for the bottom and a mount for the top where the little rubber bumperette is. I was thinking if it were possible we could run a line to a small 0 to 20 pound regulator ( on my rear 10 lbs raises it about 1" with the large dia. bags) from the turbo, through a oneway valve and tee it to each front bag. That would keep the bags set at a predetermined amount of air once the initial were filled through the shrader (sp) valve. If the bags ever needed air they would fill from the boost that we make. If the bags ever developed a leaked just turn the reg off.
They shouldn't really draw air from the boost, but in the instructions for my rear airbags they say they can loose upto 3lbs a month.
This set up would probably work best as a levelling kit or to correct the height of sagging springs.
Just a thought off the top of my head. What do you think?

neat idea running the bags off the turbo, but kinda impractical, in that it would be a lot easier to just get a small compressor to keep all 4 bags where you want them. But it may work- I'm not shootin' ya down, and if you do do it, let's get some details!

Maybe these guys may have some ideas. I'm going to call them to replace a broken leaf I have in the rear of my truck and see what they can do for the front.

I went thru this last year. After discussing it for a while I ended up getting new springs. Glad I did, when we took the old ones off the busings were shot. If they are sagging, putting a lift on it is just a bandaid IMO. I went with X codes and have been very happy.
