I know that the questions about the springs are all over this board but what i would like to know is differant. I have a full-size chevy truck which will eventually have a big-block, t400, 205/203. I already have them on the rear of my chevy truck. They work great. I in-boarded the springs and boy do those things flex. i am redoing the front spring mounts and i was thinking about running these on the front of my truck. I was also thinking about a set of those 57 inch f-150 springs. What do you all think. To soft for the front of the truck?

I wouldn't run the chevy's in the front because it would kill your approach angle, with the centered pin. Long, flat springs are good for flex, so they should definitely flatten out. There is a 2.5" add a leaf from pro comp for the F150's. I swapped it into my f150 pack, in place of the second leaf. I'm running a stock toy V6, not quite as heavy as a 400, but there was a noticeable difference between stock sag and sag after swapping in the aal.

Give me some more info on the 57" ford springs. How much are they off set and what trucks should i look to get them from. Thanks for the help.
