its a 90 f250 and i wanna level the front up. can i put rear leafs from a junker on the front of my truck? im sure theres some reason it wont work. they are really close to the same length but theres no shackle up front.

 

you probably can, but it would be the equivelent to putting a 12 inch lift on the truck. \you would be better off just getting an add a leaf for the front.

 

It's not just a matter of being the right length. The width needs to be correct, the pin location needs to be correct, the arch....you see where I'm going with this.

 

What if you just used some of the leaves out rear leaf pack and kept the front main leaf? As long as the leaf widths are the same and the center pin locations match up, I would think it would be doable.

 

nope. rears are positive arch, and fronts are flat or slightly negative arch.

 

True but the add-a-leafs you can buy have a positive arch.

 

I was thinking the centering pin location wasn't the same as the front, but I wasn't sure.

 

this is a question i had a couple weeks ago and never got a good answer. i have a set of rear leaf springs from a 85 f250 and was thinking about putting them in the front of my truck. ill measure the pins tomorrow

 

This should help you out. 1980 - 1997 Ford F250 Leaf springs - front and rear

 

the pins holes arent centered on the rear ones. it might work if not for that. the length along the surface is longer but its about the same pin to pin.

im just gonna bite the bullet and do it the right way....whatever that is...add-a-leaf or leveling kit? same thing?

once that happens how do i fix the camber? im not looking for a monster truck, just a level nose...

btw : d44 ttb

 

there is a shackle and it is on the front of the spring ! if you do use the whole spring pack you would need to do some fabrication for the mounts and also your TTB mounting points would need to be lowered !

now you can put a couple of individual leafs in there and then you most likely will need a set of alignment bushings that go in the upper ball joint !
