3/4 ton springs on an 80 Bronc

Can this be done as a direct bolt up? I can change the spring shackles, that's not a problem. I just need to know if the distance between the shackles is the same or different. I have a friend who has a big need for them, and not much money. I'm gonna scrap the parts truck tomorrow, but if he can use them I'll pull them for him. Any info much appreciated.

Measure the length from the front eyelet to the rear. IF it is the same, then it'll fit.


I'm not sure about 3/4 ton springs, but I know from 73-96 F150 or 78-96 Bronco leafs will work for his bronco and can be had for pretty cheap in the junkyard if the 3/4 tons don't work out.

Well, I kinda figured that was a given. But, I wondered if anyone knew for sure if the hangers are the same. The shackle on the rear can take up a very small amount of length difference I would think. My friend has a broken foot, so he A. is not working, so, B. has no money. I took a truck to scrap today but before I went I pulled the rear leafs for him. It is only 4 leaves and an overload, not a huge spring pack. Thanks for the input.
