A local spring shop could probably make up something for you too.If you have some measurements they might be able to make them,might be cheaper than shipping south of the 49 th too...Like dieseldawg said too,if your going to be using your truck like a truck,not a mall crawler I would stay away from arched rear springs.My 86 has arched 4" was like that when I got it,rides nice but not much for load cap.My 82 has blocks,add a leaf & extra leaves,rides a bit rougher but all kinds of load cap. now.
