Front Leaf springs

As far as I can remember seeing many old truck suspensions, the front leaf springs are not supposed to be sitting perfectly flat are they? I think my front shocks are worn out because the front sits much lower then the rear, the front bumper is only about a foot off the ground maybe less, does anyone know where to get good replacement shocks?

The springs would make it lower not the shocks, the shocks damped the spring bounce but do not give support to the vehicle. It is possible someone has removed a few leaves from the springs to lower it, or they may be in need of being re-arched. Growing up with hot-rods in the 60's I thought the front was supposed to set lower than the rear. If they look like they are running down hill all the time they should run faster, right? MM

My international is like that, it's quite low to the ground, I just take this in stride and consider it "nature's lowering kit" Someone tried to fix this in the past and installed a heavy duty spring on the front, that's right, only one, so not only was my truck lowered, but it was lopsided.... a leaf out of the heavy spring pack evened it right up.

Nature can have its lowering kit back haha I want a truck not a rod so how do you fix those springs?

three ways to "fix" springs. find others that still have good arch, have yours Re-arched, Have new ones made.
All have good and bad points in my opinion. New ones - Expensive; Re-arch yours - fair price, but unless done right, will flatten back out sooner than later; Finding others that are in good shape - could take a long time and may not be as good as you think, but generally price is reasonable.
Just my thoughts

Ugh i think ill let it go a while i have some electrical issues to deal with, does anyone know where you can buy I call it a grounding bridge, that little piece that mounts infront of the radiator that all the head and tail light wires hook to

I can look to see if it is still on the L150 nose I have. Someone else may have one.

I have it its just worn out and falling apart so my electrical connections arnt working to any of the lights so i thought id replace it

That electrical devise is called a terminal strip or terminal block. They come in a variety of lengths. It is a way of making electrical connections, especially when there are multiple wires dispersing from one source. There is a fair amount of flexibility you can do with them. There is a longer one located on the firewall, drivers side, too. Getting one from Radio Shack (The Shack) is possible or if you want a genuine IHC you'll probably need to do some extensive looking around.

Cole-Hersee has a nice selection of them;
See the Circuit Protection & wiring acc. section.
