Covers have nothing to do with ride as you know. Also, they were not offered on '39 Fords if originality is a concern to you.
I would suggest a NOS spring be installed. One that has the proper number of leaves for your model. And, as advised by another poster, make certain it is properly lubricated. A used spring will never allow the ride a NOS spring will. An 01A spring (1940) will fit your car just fine but will not be concourse correct.
