So, do you want stiffer springs for better hauling/towing? What do you mean by "Better"?

Fair few companies make leaf springs for trucks. Spring rates, amount of lift, etc, are all customizable. Might even be a local company that does it for you, depending on where you are. (there was one in Toledo Oh, when I needed springs a few years back..... no idea if they are still there.) Check with companies that make lift kits as well. Likely they can do something for you.

Might check with the dealer, and see what is available from them as well.
