Looking for Leaf springs between Pensacola Fl. and Chicago Il. Cant sag in the city

I have a 1987 Ifs pickup with a bit of sag in the back. Im looking for some perky leaf spring between Pensacola Fl. and Chicago Il.

Can I only use leaf springs from the Ifs models?

Would FJ coils work?

I went looking for springs and they dont make oem ones anymore. At least in canada. I used 52" chev rear springs (80's chev half tonnes) pulled a few springs from the pack to soften it up, re-drilled the dowel hole and moved the rear shackles back about 2" on the frame.

Its a bit out of the way for a pick up. How much are you asking for them?

Any ARB dealer can get you OME leafs. There are many companies that make custom leaf springs too - like Alcan and Deaver for example. They can even be shipped in the mail too.
