In the early 90s, my boss bought a '59 Studebaker 3/4 ton truck for me to drive as a company truck. One of the things we did to it was to have the front springs re-arched. I took them to a spring company in Kansas City, MO. The cost was reasonable and the results were just what we wanted. I don't remember the cost, but it would not be relevant since it was so long ago.

I had all the springs re-arced on my 58 GMC quite a few years ago. Usually they do both the front, and rear as sets. During the process to insure they end up fairly even they interchange individual leafs from side to side. This firm heated up the individual leafs to de-temper them, re-arced, re-tempered, and reassembled the sets. They should do something similar now.

If the car is lower on one side there probly a broken leaf.
