You might try taking a few pictures and sending them to the shop before you make the drive for them to "look at it". After seeing the pictures he should be able to give you an estimate on replacing the spring, which are usually replaced in pairs, and how long it would take. Two hour drive is not that convenient but it is what it is, if nobody else wants to work on it. It is not that difficult of a job but it does take a little time and some basic equipment that most shops would have.
Here is a link to get an idea of the spring cost: SD truck springs
There may be cheaper places since I just grabbed this place off of the internet.
I've been eyeballing SD Truck Springs for their pricing and so far, they have the best, but it'll be over a grand for the two springs alone. Ford stealerships don't even carry springs for that year model anymore, much less finding a shop that will work on it. I might try the picture thing...hadn't really thought about doing that. It would save me a trip and a day off work that would be better used on vacation instead of waiting in a repair shop watching bad cable and drinking bad coffee only to find out that they don't want to do the job.....already been there and done that.......
