Front Springs

I am trying to replace the springs on my '87 f150. The problem is that I have the quad shock option and I can't find a aftermarket replacment that says it's compatable.

Just so all the info is here, it's a 4.9l w/ ac, standard trans, 116 wb., 4x4, standard cab, 6'8" box.


I am not looking for a lift, or anything high performance, I just want new springs so that I can get a true alignment.

Thanks, for the help.

The quad front shock option should not be an issue. Just get new springs for a half ton 4x4 with I6. Or use your door sticker for the spring code. It should tell you front and rear. Basically, just about any of the F-Series springs will interchange.

I didn't really think that the quad shocks would matter, but the listings I was looking at specifically said w/ out quad shocks.

Thanks, for the help.

I can't see how quad shocks would have any impact at all on the springs.
