Skyjacker is the only front springs that I found for our trucks with the Cummins. Plenty of gas springs. Alcan, and other manufacturers, can make a custom set but they're pricey. Off Road Design also has a "Zero Rate Add a Leaf" that would work, but I've never used one.

add a few leafs to the front. wont be the softest ride but it sure wont break the bank either. will prolly run you about $20 and a few cut-off wheels to make the added leafs the size you want.

my .02 on a cheap strong lift.

I just put a set of 2" lift springs in the front of mine made by Skyjacker. I got the from Auto Parts Warehouse | Car Parts & Accessories, Truck Parts, Discount Auto Body Parts Online part #D200CS. -dodge-2.00"-cummins-softride. All together with an optional polyuerethane bushing kit was $390. I am surprised how they ride, I think they ride better than the worn out stockers did.For me it was well worth the $ to get the right stuff, I'm very happy with them.

I think the bare springs with no bushings were $159 each and the bushing kit was $70 but I can't remember for sure. They did offer a non soft ride spring with regular rubber bushings a little cheaper as I recall. I'm trying to figure out how to post a before and after pic for ya.
