I fixed mine years ago by adding 2 add'l leafs per side.



I think I got them off a Maverick. I measured my existing leafs and added one slightly longer and slightly shorter than the shortest stock leaf. That was before replacement springs were readily available. You could always buy new springs.

Buy a new set of leaf springs or have a local shop re arch them.

Adding leaf springs will restore the ride height but be prepared for a much stiffer ride. The spring rate will increase big time.
