A good spring shop that deals with truck suspensions should be able to make you a new leaf.

     I think what ever you do on one side you will want to do on the other or lopsidedness is apt to follow.

     You don't say where you are located, someone may be able to point you to a spring shop in your locality.  I would hit the yellow pages, springs are common things, nearly every vehicle has them so help is bound to be not too far way. I used a good one here in New Hampshire last week.

The shops that build springs often mostly do heavy equipment / trucks.    Apparently there are so many different apps in that world that its just more efficient to custom build everything.    They will sometimes advertise in 'street rod' circles because that too is an area where custom springs are often needed.    I had a set built for one car.   They said if I didn't like how it sat bring it back and they would make it how I wanted.   It came out fine but it was nice to know they would fix it if it was not what I wanted.   You don't usually get that option when ordering a set from a catalog.   I have had more than once car that ended up high and a little stiff in the back.
