You could just build your own set of leafs.
I did it on my '69 F-100.

I used a set of Dentside leafs, (only 1/4 wider), and i used the best out of the Dent rack and the Bump rack. I ended up with a really nice set of rear leafs for my truck.
I used the Dentside main leafs and got them to fit my mounts by taking a grinder and shaving a little off of each side of the center bushing. The 2 1/2"
wide spring fit in the hanger with no problem.
When i put the racks together, i used a really long spring center bolt, got them all lined up, and them clamped them down in a large vice. Ran the center bolt down tight, and cut off the end of the bolt with a 4" angle grinder.
I built my own spring alignment brackets by using 1/4 plate and bending it accordingly. Drilled the holes in the end, ran a bolt through and i don't think they ever moved. I never did attach them to the leaf springs.

Just my :2cents:

Best of luck.
