Leaf spring replacement

I want to do new leafs and shackles on my 1999 e350 7.3. The current leafs are cracked and worn and make terrible noises.

Where should i buy this stuff? I see dorman makes a replacement leaf pack but i dont usually have good luck with that brand. Im
worried about doing all this work and ending up with saggy rotted springs a year down the road. I dont mind paying a premium for a better product.

I'd be far far more willing to spend money with ATS Junior than Dorman!

Sure would be nice if you made them for 68-74 Econolines, there is a market for it.

Please make sure you send Junior some reps, maybe post a message on his Visitors Messages page too.

I had good experience with ATS also. Got Junior on the phone and I got the tallest set we were able to define. SInce my van is 4x4 and lifted, I still had to use a shackle flip. After 3 years doing a lot of off-roading that a van has no business doing the springs are still good. For a standard van he should be able to take care of you.
