Today i was told i could put f350 springs on the front of my f150. and this would raise it up about 2 inches giving me enough clearance for new, bigger tires. is it true?

 

he speakuth the truth...

 

well, i'm a girl so the two inch joke doesn't apply. haha.

what are aals?

 

oh ok i know those. i'm just looking for a cheaper alternative to level my truck out.. :/

 

I believe 2wd f350's have coil springs in the front. I've heard of what she's talking about, but i've never seen it done.

 

Didn't my 93 F350 have coil spring it not 4wd it 2wd.

 

how can you use add a leaves if it is coil spring front end?

 

You can get rough country, or superlift 2" lift springs for a 4x4 for around $120, or so.

 

Okay, let's get this right. Kez, is your truck 2wd or 4wd?

 

Coils from a 2wd F350 will fit under a 2wd F150. And yes its about a 2 inch lift, I did the swap on my 87 F150 2wd so I could fit 33's under the front. The ride was really rough, but I imigine it would soften out if you ever got a big bumper for the front.

 

Well there we go. Problem solved.

 

front 2wd f350 springs will also fit a f150 4x4. I don't think this raises the front end any higher than it was originally...but it may raise it several inches higher that it is currently if they are now weak. I did this on my 93 4x4 so it could handle the plow. I used the regular duty f350 springs...in hindsight, I wish I had gone with the Heavy duty for the plowing. Good cheap solution.

 

so just to summerize this. I can get f350 2wd springs to put in the front of my 2wd f150...

correct?

 

pretty much...im gonna say if you find a pair of coils that are the same diameter it souldnt really matter what truck they are out of and if the springs are 2 inches taller guess what...

 

Correct. I'm actully wondering if the f350 springs are any taller or if they're just so much stiffer that they don't squat when they're under an f150...?...
