I have an 81 F150 with a big block and a solid d44 and i used leifsprings out of the back of an 84 suburban then added to leifs for the desired stiffness. Now, i like the ride but i want more lift and more arck,so i was wondering if rear 3 quarter ton springs have 6 leifs instead of 4 and what i could get cheap that would work the same and give lift....HENCE would lifted rear 3 quarter ton chevy springs be what i am lookin for??? If so who has some
4 to 6 inches is the arck I am lookin for

Most 3/4 ton Chevy pickup rear springs are 56 inches but you can find some that are 52 inches.. Some are 6 leaves and some are 4 but It sounds like you just need to get some lift springs with the amount of lift you want..

You won't find any stock 52" rear springs that will really give you any lift since they are all about the same arch. Obviously there are some stiffer versions that won't compress as much with weight, but since you have already added 2 leafs to the current packs I doubt it would make much if any difference. Your best bet would be to get a set of aftermarket lift springs for the 52" rear spring application .
