Question about leaf springs

[RBurchell92]

I just bought a '00 F250 and my right rear leaf spring snapped. My truck has a 6" lift on it, and my question is..

When I get new springs for the rear, do I need to find special ones because of the lift or will any old fitting leaf spring do?

does your lift use blocks for the rear, or does it have lift springs? If it uses blocks, any spring will do. If it is a lift spring, you need to replace both sides to ensure it sits properly-used springs tend to sag-one new spring, and one used will cause issues (unless you find a matching used lift spring, which I doubt). Id consider a set of deaver rear springs with a 6" lift. They ride better than OEM.

If it's not the main leaf that is broken, you can have a spring shop make you a new leaf. Pictures?

It depends on how your lift acheives its lift. It it is all done through a spacer block, which I doubt it is, then you can just get a factory setup. But probably since it is that much lift then it has a non factory leaf setup. But a good spring shop can make you a new spring pack to your dimensions. If it is a middle leaf then you could just get a single leaf and not get a whole spring pack.
