I am using a 7 leaf pack from a Wagoneer on my SAS Sport Trac. I also used the front waggy springs with the offset center pin. However the drivers side is a little weaker for some reason.

Rear Wagoneer springs are the same dimensions as a stock 2WD F-150, so they are way too long for a front end application IMO. I run them on the rear of my EB and they function well in that application.

You are looking for front Waggy springs in the 7 leaf variety which function pretty well. I'm running the front 7 leaf springs in my GPW and have had great luck with them.

Is the offset the same?? The wagoneer rear springs are a waaaaay to soft, I need something a bit stiffer (I took a leaf out, and lost it )

Another complete set might be fine but it had a bit o arch, maybe the 150 is a bit less arch?
