Tbird, you could re-use some of your old springs and stack them with the new ones as long as they are still in good condition (kinda doubtful since one of them broke..). Might not gain a whole lot of height but it would definitely stiffen up the suspension.

What is involved in re stacking the springs? I have 2 sets of f250 springs and want more spring when loaded. I haul a 12 foot cab-over full time. What do you do with the wrap bar in the front?
