front springs

My front end is sagging, it is a 80 Bronco with a 460 engine. If I replace the front springs with the stock springs, will it just sag again? or will a set of springs from a F250 with a 460 fit and hold it up better?

The front springs from an F250 or F350 2wd have been used on half-tons to level the front end stance. I do not see a reason why you could not to help out on your bronco.

There was someone in the trucks section that did the 2wd F250 front spring swap onto an F150. May do a search and see if you can find his posting.
