Talking Rear leaf springs

Just installed my 71 F250 flex-o-matic rear springs in my 68 F100 Guess what they fit good. Only mod I had to do was bore out the front shackel bracket holes to the next size bolt 9/16 to 5/8 I am guessing. Raised my rear end to about an inch over the front. They ride great. One word of caution there is a left and right side it has to do with the bolts in the flex-o-matic assembly They will fit reversed but a lot easier the correct way.
It now rides like a truck and could work like a truck anyone need a good right side spring, left side had 2 broken leafs!
