spring question

[85yodaon33s]

ok i have a question about the front springs on my truck will the rears bolt up to the front of my truck with out haveing to move stuff around i need to fix my spring i broke

[jimbo74]

it is not a direct swap, the rear springs are longer and also move the axle forward

isnt that a good thing

not if you plan on keeping the hangers and steering where it is at... the steering will need to be modified or it will cause problems. crossover steering will be needed or major modification of the draglink to be cut and welded back together shorter....


people ofter do rears up front for a swap, but there is more involved than just bolting hte spring up front. if you are not planning to do all that is needed for it, then finding another set of front springs for the front is your best option.

there is a lot of info on RUF rears up front if you search for it

you can easily  replace  the  leaf that broke,   using  a leaf  from a rear pack  but you will need to do it to both sides  so it doesnt  look weird
