Leaf springs, need 3" lift in rear....

Anyone have a suggestion for a 3" lift in the rear with leaf springs, as in brand, and place to buy, price isnt a big deal, just let me know. I have a 2006 f150 xlt 4x2. Installing a 6" fabtech and want a 3" leaf spring in the rear with the block, thank you.

look at that link again the part number is the same as the one for the fx4 so it looks like it will work on any model.

awesome, because if it does work, then thats awesome, i think that with my 6" fabtech would sit perfect, because i then have the 2.5" as up front so i think my truck would sit perfect.....whats your opinion on that stance .......i love the way your truck looks so im always looking for good opinions....
