Make sure you torque the U-bolts, Then re-torque them after about hundred miles. I was surprised on how loose mine where.

I got mine from Sanderson welding in MN. He is on Ebay. Think I payed about $120. I called him and told him NOT to weld them together. New u-bolts and center bolts. I like em, but... they sure we're a pain to do by yourself.

I can understand replacing your springs, but why do you also have to replace your mini-spring pack?
Anyways, since you are going to be replacing your springs, you can take your old springs and cut them down and build your own mini-spring pack. I did; works great.
Any spring shop can provide the spring pins and U-bolts.

The vast, vast majority of our trucks do not. They are the stock springs for this vintage F-550, and other than that were only installed on trucks special ordered with a snow plow package. Since Ford never approved the diesel trucks for snow plow use, you'll be pretty hard pressed to find a 250/350 diesel with x codes.
