F-150 rear springs ?'s

[Jason861]

I searched for the last few days and still didnt find what I was looking for. To those of you that have the 57" F-150 springs how are they holding up? Any problem with breaking main leaves?

BTW going in the rearof a SII :flipoff2:

Thanks :beer:

I have 1986 full size Bronco springs moved under my frame in my scout. holding up great. Of course my truck has been under construction for over 2 years. But the springs have held that rear end up magnificently. :flipoff2:

The F150 springs should work just fine as SOA. they were designed that way.
I got good lift from it too.

buddy of mine did it on a land cruiser w/ a soa, working out fine...
also the longer the spring the more flex and thats a good thing :flipoff2:

Just what I was wanting to hear :flipoff2: I already paid for alcans up front...will not be doing that again for awhile :barf: Dont get me wrong they work great but the F-150's for the rear will be a couple hundred dollars cheaper :D

Anybody else?

Thanks

they're the same length as stock, i would go longer, get the chevy 63" rears, from a half ton, and put a double shackle on. did it on the rear of mine and i'm running 36" swampers. took it to tellico a few weeks ago and did great. almost never lifted a tire off the ground.

I have them on the front of my scout and they seem to work good, it has been sitting in the shop for a while. I have them on so the short side is to the front and that gives a good approach angle. I have the 3 inch wide springs so i don't think breaking a spring will be a problem.

They are not the same length as a stock leaf, but if i remember right the short side is the same as half of a stock leaf.

longer the better I have chevy 56'' rears and wish I had used the 63'' leafs I picked up days later for free :rolleyes:
On my 800 the 56'' are close tho
