Time for new leafs.

I have a 97 f150 Lariat 4x4 4.6L and I recently put a Fabtech 6" lift. my only gripe is the rear came with a 4" block to go with the factory 2" block, so now the truck sits level but it looks like the rear is sitting lower.
i dont feel comfortable with adding blocks to achieve the rear lift, id rather find a way to go with higher arched leafs without compromising the ride too much, i dont want it so stiff in the rear that i need to carry a camper to ride smooth. is there any way i can get the leaf springs either re-arched even though the left side is somewhat saggy compared to the right? or am i better off looking for a place to order some leafs that are a higher arch that will help atleast get rid of the 4" block and make it looks like its suppose to?

Heres my album https://www.f150online.com/galleries....cfm?gnum=6072

I'd go with a new set of springs. You may try Atlas Springs. There are a few other companies but that's the only one I can think of at the moment.
