need new leaf springs

My F-250 4x4 is saging in the front and i want to replace the front springs. does anyone one know of a good place to buy springs? I checked jcwhitney and they no longer offer springs for our trucks. I am looking into getting springs with a heavier weight rating as i have a heavy front bumper thats going on my truck. thanks for any info.

I'm thinking about just having the ones for my truck made, that way I get a leveling kit and enough spring to hold everything.

I agree. Visit your local spring shop and let them build you a set to your specs. They should offer both install or cash & carry options.

Have them rebuilt. Then you get the bonus of new bushings.

Adding a leaf still leaves worn out bushings.
