Leaf Spring question

I was given a free set of F350 rear leaf springs and wanted to install them on my 01 X. Has anyone else done this, if so how did it work? Thanks Adam

Search out the many threads here about the "B Code" spring swap and "Modded" B's. If your set of freebies has the extra overload leaf on the top of the spring pack you will need to remove it or it will damage the rear A/C lines. I recently was also given a set of rear B's and front X's, as soon as I can get some time off I will be doing the full swap with the modded rears. The only thing I need to get still is the 3.5" rear blocks (needed to level out the rear after the much heavier and taller X's are on the front).

Excursion spring swap's are a very common mod/upgrade Ex owners do to their rigs.

Can you explain more about your swap? Which springs are going on the front? If I take off the overload spring it should be a exect swap?

It depends on what code springs you have. If you have B code springs, then yes.
