Front leaf replacement
My 95 F250 is in need of either an add a leaf or full blown spring replacement. I figure that the add a leaf with labor for installation would be similar in cost of these replacement springs with my installing them. Anyone had any experience with them? Ride, ride height, installation etc... My main goal is to keep my 295/75/16's from rubbing my already trimmed and spaced bumper and to keep from bottoming out on the bump stops. A little lift would be nice too. I'm also looking to keep the ride from getting much worse than it already is.

That's a pretty big tire you're running on there. Have you concidered going to a leveling kit or a small lift kit? I replaced the whole leaf pack on my 84 F250 with the heaviest rated F350 springs I could get then installed an AAL. I think I paid just over $300 including shipping for the pair (both leaf packs) from Bronco Graveyard. It rides terrible, but I went this heavy because it's a diesel and I plow snow with it. After doing this I had to go with the Tuff Country adjustable TTB brackets because those spring packs with the AAL raised the front end so high it put the springs and shackles in a bind. From the sounds of what you are looking at, the price they gave you is for each spring pack sold individually. Not a bad deal.
