Front leaf springs
May I use these leaf springs: www.suspensionconnection.com/cgi-bin/suscon/282803.html on my 91 F-250 7,3idi?
And if, can I use ordinary lenght shocks? Do they require any upgrades to pitmanarm or U-bolts etc.?
My leaf-springs are old and weak and I really need some new one. A 2 inch lift
would also level my truck.
I guess I also can buy some original leaf-springs, and then use a levelling kit.
But is that relly necessery when I can do the the same job with the springs
mentioned over??

They are 4 leaf vice the 2-3 normally on our trucks..... wich may give it softer ride.......Contacting the sellers would be best bet........for shock requirements.
Other choice is to get your old springs re-arched at a suspension/spring shop in your area.

Carparts are so expensive in Norway, that I save 15-40% when I import them from USA. At the mechanical shops it costs about 700 norwegian kroner an hour.
That will be about 120 us dollars.
So for me it is often better to import new parts and install them myself, instead of getting some old **** fixed by an expensive mechanic. It`s still old!
