New truck

I just got my first truck; it is a 1985 f-150 4X4 paid 300 for it. It needs allot of work rust on everything but it runs good. What I would like to know is where I can get new leaf springs the ones on the truck are broken. Thanks for reading my post

Steve

not sure where u are from, but if u can find a local spring supplier, or parts store should be able to get them, if not, jc whitney, and any of the off road supply shops have springs ranging from stock to whatever lift you want. if u plan on towing or hauling, i would get the heavier duty rating springs of the choices, if stock replacement.

Try Espo Springs at Espo.com. I had good luck with their springs I bought for another vehicle.

if it has 3 inch wide springs, then u can get the heaviest load rating springs for a bronco, which is like 2850 lb springs, straight out of stock replacement, that should be heavy duty enough for that truck.
