front springs

As long as they are 4WD springs the F-150 and Bronco shared almost every suspension component to the best of my knowledge. I could be mistaken but I would imagine that the 2WD version of the F-series may have had lighter duty springs at least in the front. (Less unsprung weight on the Twin I-Beam than on the Twin Traction Beam).

thanks for the reply the reason I asked is because a friend of mine has 15'' springs on the front of his 1984 f150 and it looks like he has a lift but this is just from the factory and the factory springs on my bronco are just 11'' so I figure if I can find some taller springs it will give me a bit of lift. what do you think

Sounds like a reasonable concept. Will it "level out" the ride or are you going to do something with the rear as well?

Add-a-leafs defintately. Won't crush and far less likely to be "spit out" from between the axle and springs.
