Look at the white tag on the drivers side door jam, it will tell you the spring code, probably a 2 letter code.

You have the heaviest rated spring Ford offered in those years. We offer a direct replacement option that will net you 2" over factory height but you will need to address the alignment after the install. Because of your front axle these trucks can be a real pain to align when you lift the front end up. You will most likely need to get pivot brackets that will accommodate the higher stance of the truck in the front.

The 3 leaf will give you some lift but it will definitely firm up the ride. We usually sell those springs to customers who have plows, heavy bumpers/winches or a combination.
