Well Ive read thru all the threads and noone answered your origingal question, "where can I buy bump stops?" Mine fronts are shot, I never offroad the thing, I'm not going to do a spring swap, i just want to buy OEM leaf spring bumper stops. NAPA, Autozone dont list OEM's, fordparts.com dont list the fronts. Any leads?

The springs I questioned on ebay are C codes... HMM 8200 a bit much wouldn't you say?
I'll assume at this point B & C code springs look identical.
Update:
I was just on the phone with the seller, he thinks I would be able to remove a leaf to achieve B code rate. What's your input gentlemen?

Seriously?
They're rated at 8250#, won't that be a rock hard ride?
I already bought them for $200 delivered but spoke to seller earlier about possibly canceling sale because they weren't B's.
He has a F350 and installed a 8" lift kit. Figured he would just dump them off online, take up space in garage.
Please check your PM, sent you one.

Yes, seriously.
Yes, I know.
That's very subjective. But from posts I've read where others have done it, they were happy they did and had zero complaints about the ride.
I'll buy them from you for $200 delivered if you don't want them. Oh, wait, first, how many miles on 'em?
Checked, nothing there yet. Will check again.

I like what the v/b did for a members truck. The lift was exactly what I'm looking for.

With the C's you probably wouldn't need the tapered blocks, just use your OEM blocks. It depends on how tired those 115k mile springs are.

Understood. If I use the C rears with V's up front will it have a down rake or be somewhat level? If so will X up front correct it?
