Leaf Spring Help

A month or so ago my mom was heading to a horse deal with my sister. She was pulling a 20' Featherlite Goosneck trailer with one horse inside. The front tire blew on My dad's 1992 Ctd witch caused the pickup to go off the road and consequently hit a big boulder. the boulder made it under the whole pickup. when this happened the front end smashed into the oil pan and ruined the springs. Any Ideas on where to find a good 2.5-4" lift kit, or just front springs? Also, where does the oil pickup tube lay on the oil pan? will it be ok to run with a "ding" im the front of the oil pan?
thanks

I run the skyjacker 2" fronts. It levels the truck out nicely and rides better than the stock ones. They were somewhat pricey at about $150 a side I beleive, but it was worth it. Any local 4wd shop should be able to order it for you.

The pickup is in the rear. As long as nothing is hitting the pan a small dent in the front will do no harm.

Ditto on the Skyjacker 2" front springs.
