Rear Springs

After the first trip with the truck ,camper and trailer I have noticed that the rear of the truck sits too low even with the air bags. This truck was a Texas farm truck and I figure the springs are just wore out. Since the dealer can't research springs by GVW I was wondering if anyone has the part numbers for the rear springs that came on the 11,000 GVW cab and chassis. I already put new coils on the front from a 98 6sp club cab. They were quite a bit stiffer, larger diameter wire. I should have thought and replaced the rear ones before I put in the new fuel tank.
Thanks in advance, Rod
