Go to your favorite wrecking yard with your trusty tape measure and fing some truck springs that are 52" long and 2 1/2" wide. take them home and remove all but 3 ( or 2 depending on how soft you want the ride) of the leafs. bolt up and enjoy.You may need some metal bushings for spacers, and you will need new shackles.
My Mary has the leafs from a 91 Dodge 3/4 tom pick up lightened down to triple leafs. she sets level and rides great( of course the sub-connectors help the ride) let me know if you try it.

PS I'm getting vanity tags for Mary that say N8
