Ok here's the dilly, need front leafsprings for a 88 F250, asked part source & they had some but they were 4" & 6" lift, don't think that is what i need right now, just want stock, any suggestions, had someone refere me to a shop that would make them up, any ideas how much i'm lookn to pay for a stock set.

Not sure on cost but Cannifton leaf and spring could probably set you up. If they are not broken, they can re-arch too.
I am not sure how long it lasts though.
Or the wreckers. Got o Tafts they had a few Ford 4x4's there last time I was there.
Good luck!

Thanks ibgpin, the only thing is the truck is 600mi away, i didnt know they could rearch those, and its got some kind of bodylift so i'm hoping a new set would fix the arch on the two front tires cause the leafs are straight or slightly curved down, wonder if i could basturd pack them somehow, or thats allowed for a safety.

Call the local wreckers, they are always around. They should be between $50 and a hundred each depending on the place.
