RichS259 U R the MAN !!!
I found some brand new springs I think have almost the same rating , & l think the same size .
I measured them several moons ago..........but hard to get a measure with springs on the truck.
Now if I can only find the actual Ford dimensions !!!
Thank-you so much , I have a Ford catalog , but have a little trouble finding info , & I did not dream that would have the spring rate ! I must try harder to figure out my catalogs !
As I said now I need the dimensions ?????????
Thanx again............
