Suspension upgrades

So, it's my first Econoline. I understand it's Falcon based. Does this mean if I wanted to do suspension upgrades I should look for Falcon parts? I'm guessing there is nothing for Econolines.

The Econolines used the Falcon engine, but other than that, there is little in common.

Lots of folks have changed their suspension and have posted on the Internet.

What do you want. Higher, lower, better handling?

I bought new springs front and rear from McVeighs Truck Spring, So far every mechanical part I have needed has been available at Rock Auto online, or at my local parts store, Rock Auto is quite a bit cheaper than the local shops, and you get a very good selection of brand names. Parts that are specifec to Econoline only, like the master cylinder or body and bumper parts, steering box, are harder to locate and may need to be slightly re engineered from other cars. It's best to ask specific questions if you are looking for parts. IF you think you need suspension help you should start with your symptoms, and diagnose your issue, then ask for a specific part.
