Is there something wrong with the suspension, ("...back in working order")? Or, are you considering running bigger wheels and tires than stock?

Here is a link to a site that offers Add-A-Leaf springs for the front. Gives you some idea of what is available.

http://4x4.fatbobsgarage.com/leveling-kits-c3690.aspx

Be hard to find lower prices for auto parts than here:

RockAuto Auto Parts

If you're having trouble with the 35's rubbing a 2 inch body lift can be bought for around $100.00.

Keep in mind too that to add a leaf to the the spring pack you'll need to take it all apart. So it may cost less, and less labor, to simply replace the front leaf springs with new stock springs. Check various websites for options, and cost. This sector of the automotive parts market is highly competitive. So it usually pays to shop around for the best price.

Hope this is of some help. Got any pictures of your truck you can post?
