Front springs????
Would anybody know if Ford makes a specific coil spring set for use with 460 big block in 1/2 ton pickups (1992 F150 2x4) or would i have to just go get 3/4 ton springs????

There's only 3-4 different springs for the 150-250's.The part #'s overlap for both (except 460/diesel) depending on WB,cab design,A/C or not,etc.MOOG pt. #CC-844 covers pretty much all the heavier applications.

Obviously the big block never got put into F-150's. I have the heaviest springs I could find (progressive plow springs) in the front of my F-150 and the 351 is heavy enough for them. I have heard people talking about putting a 460 into an F-150 but finding heavy enough springs was one of the issues.

Do the F-250/350 2wd pickups use coil springs in the front. I know the 4wd ones use leaf springs, but if you could get some 460 coil springs out of a F-250 you could probably swap those in. If they don't use coil springs then you could get some coils out of a E-250 that had a 460 in it. The ride in your 150 would probably suck, but that is what I will be using springs out of when I swap a 460 in mine sometime in the next year. Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

Like I said earlier,there's only a few different springs (coil) for these trucks.And they overlap applications.A 351 in a super-cab 350 is the same as a 150 standard cab w/tow package and A/C which is the same as a 250 with a 300/6 standard cab heavy-duty without A/C.
