spring re-arcing
Well, if they're real tired, you should at least replace all leaves but the main one.
If they aren't too bad and you just want around 3 inches of lift, rearch the pack and then add a leaf.
I rearced the fronts of my f250 without adding anything and it didn't last too long.
How's that sound?

I just went through this on my 79 F-150 4x4. A local spring shop wanted over $300 to re-arch the rears. I bought NEW ones from ESPO springs and things < ESPO.com > and even with shipping they were much cheaper. They ran $210.00. I'd sure recommend them to anyone. Rear springs for my 63 Galaxie were $180. For that price, I'd rather have the UPS guy drag em around then me. Thier catalog is online if ya want to take a look. Good luck, Phil ( 64 F-150 4x4 )
