snapped front leaf spring. Best heavy duty replacement?

Okay folks, I jammed my brakes today and snapped a front leaf spring in 2???

I've read all kinds of various threads about spring codes and such, I simply need to know what spring to get, and possibly where to get it. A heavier spring, that may lift the truck a bit is highly preferred. Please help.

thanks Ty

Dealer or a place that does lifts on trucks. I got my V and F codes from a lift place and they were new for half the price of a dealer. Call around, you could get lucky.

I just got new V-codes from Tousley Ford's online site. They were $129 ea. and shipping from MN to MI was only $45 for the pair, so $304 total. My local wanted list pricwe which was like 185-ish ea.

You can use two Vs or I used a U and a V to help level the truck
It helped but it still sits low on the left with the V code and that is B4 I put my 280# butt in the seat.
