hot a spring question?
So I have been hunting a rattle in my front end for a few weeks. Tonight I found it....front right spring has a broken bottom leaf. So my question is since I am 3rd owner and didn't get any real info when I bought the truck I am not sure if these are stock 4x4 front springs or not.
Alittle truck info....it's a 97 f350 crew cab long bed with a brand unknown rsk. I can tell you that the rear has the factory block as well as a added block. I know I know not my favorite thing but one step at a time. Also I can tell you that the springs have a ATLAS SPRINGS sticker and a tag that is around the front eye that is damaged but what I can make out says FSD D 4" ( I think ). So any help would be great.

Yes and no. the rest of the spring is in good shape so i was entertaining just replacing the damaged leaf. i've work in a class 8 truck shop for some years now and we often times do this instead of replacing complete assemblies.

well thanks for your response tshrager. i found a spring shop here in Dallas that has a leaf to replace the one thats broken. so i am going to go by and pick up the leaf and a tie bolt for about 50 bucks, so i am making out much cheaper than having to replace the pack.
