Mystery spring install complete

For those of you who saw this thread (link below) where I had a lot of problems (some self inflicted..lol) installing some rear springs, here is the front spring update.

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...g-install.html

For those who dont remember...I put some springs that I originally thought were b's and was accidently left with this...



After pulling all the excess packs and the factory blocks...I was left with this.



All winter, I couldn't get my buddys together to help me (and I've had back surgury in the past year so I couldnt do it by myself) put the front springs in so I drove it like that..haha.

Install the springs yesterday..Was way easier then I thought. We didnt even have to pull the front drive shaft. We just put a jack under the snout of the axel and cranked on it. The rotation upwards gave us enough room. All in all, to do this swap we removed a total of 24 nuts/bolts (not including the 16 lug nuts)

6 for the bumper.
4 for the shocks
2 for the lower ac condenser brackets
4 for the springs
8 for the ubolts

Since I have no idea what rear springs they were...I decided to rock the unknown front springs too. Here they are compared to the stockers.



And some obligitory install pics







And the final results. I'm more than thrilled with it!...What dumb luck I have..lol





It has no front shocks yet as I want to call bilstien and makes sure I get the proper length ones. But I drove it to settle out the suspention and it was hardly noticeable
