Just curious as to why yall chose these over the chevy's? I know the chevys are longer but are there any more advantage to running these as opposed to the chevys? Trying to decide what springs to run in the rear of my truck.
any body experience bad axle wrap running the springs backwards
just scored these lil beauties from pic-n-pull, i decieded to go with these over chevy's because i want to bob as much of the bed off as possible, i do have one question though, are you guys running 12" or 14" shocks with this setup, i was thinking 12 but i hear alot of people sayyin the shocks are limiting theier flex?
For me, I just moved the front hanger. The rear should be good. It should work for you as well, as I believe we share the same length springs. Yep, went to the Baseline one on a Sunday and saw several Fords. Make darn sure you get them from an F150 and not an Explorer or Ranger. You may even want to measure them to make sure they are 32" - 25" or about that along the spring. Good luck!
are the explorer and ragner springs not heavy duty enough?
This is sad... I know there's a reason, but I can't remember why now. I think maybe the measurements are different. I think those might be 52" springs versus 57" springs
theyre ~56" i bought a set of explorer springs for the rears of my ranger, easy lift because explorers were SUA stock. ranger springs are same length and very flexy, but mounted SOA stock with a 2" factory block
Give it a shot. I can't remember why I was so opposed to Ranger or Explorer springs. Hmmm... Makes me wonder. Tough getting to be 22 and lose your memory
What spring hangers are you guys using for these springs? The spring hangers for Toyota springs have 18mm bolt holes and the steel bushing in the Ford spring only allows a 9/16" bolt. I would rather run Marlin hangers so I don't have the measure side to side on the frame to get the offset of the hanger correct. The spring hanger is not centered on the frame which makes other hangers more time consuming to mock up.If I get poly bushings for the Ford springs and remove the metal sleeve will the 18mm bolts fit well enough to use the Marlin hangers?
YotaJosh used a hole saw to take out the Ford bushings and just reused stock spring bushings to get the 18mm bolt hole. Check out his build - search YotaJosh (if and when the search function comes back... )
