Help ordering custom 56" springs

[45acpJr]

I'm going to have a local shop make me some new 56" springs, when ordering they want the following specs:

1. Length - 56" (26"/30")
2. Thickness of main leaf -
3. Width - 2.5"
4. Number of leaves -
5. Diameter of spring eyes -

The ones in red I know, I'm assuming that the spring eye diameter isn't an issue because I am replacing all of the bushings with ORD greasable bushings. So I should be able to make those 1.5" on both sides, correct?

Any input is appreciated, also keep in mind this is a DD for now so I am looking for the perfect balance of flexy, but drivable.

why not got for a generic aftermarket leaf set

ID of the spring eyes should be 1.5"

If you are looking at custom springs, you should talk to ORD. I got my custom front leafs from them and I know they have a formula for rear springs as well. I call them custom because they are made with ORD's special recipe. That's where your leaf thickness and number of leaves is going to be the key factor. High number of thin leaves works well, but I don't know what the exact specs need to be.
