E150, 250, 350 rear leaf springs, crashed, used, in good shape

Hi.

I am looking for leaf springs with all brackets connected to the frame in good shape. I want to put them under my 1989 E-150 138 inch van. I saw that some guys have used E250, 350 leaf springs. I need actually a bit stiffer, more weight resistant leaf springs that i have now, so from e250, E250 would be ok. If you have one, please take a picor measure some height, lenght sizes.

Thanks for any help, there must be very cheap vans for sale if they are crashed but rear end is good, maybe some other from forum has some leaf springs.

You might do better with this type upgrade contacting ATS Junior---he's a member and sponsor here on FTE.

I'm not 100% sure but E250 rear springs might not easily fit on your '89 E150---the frames were different enough to make this a bit more complicated than a simple exchange of parts.

Contact ATS Junior for his input---might be worth the time.

Thanks, he already contacted me,for a new parts there is a problem to get brackets connected to the frame, i really need them. I have seen E250 leafs on E150 van, no problem, just a little bit higherand wider. I just need exact sizes and height and lenght to do the swap.

I've never been a fan of those types of add-ons.

To me , either will work but again, to me, they are band aids.
I, at the minimum , would add a leaf.
