Stock Replacement Leaf Springs

[banderso]

I know this subject had come up before, and I've read the info I can find, but I'm still not clear on the answer.

I recently purchased a 93 f250 with a dana 60 swap up front. But when the previous owner put the 60 in, he apparently reused the f250 leaf springs. Potholes hurt. So I need to find stock replacement f350 front springs.

Can someone point me to a source and a part number? I've looked through a few parts websites, but it's not clear exactly what spring to order. I'd also like to add the f350 rear blocks (between spring and axle) if there's a source for that. Thanks.

I would not use lifting blocks in a front end. You will get a loose feel and shaking can result if everything is not right (toe-in, camber, etc.) You can get lifted springs a lot of places. A 3" lift will get you higher than the blocks without all of the associated garbage.

Sorry, re-reading I definitely wasn't clear. My understanding is that the f250s and f350s got different rear blocks. I'd like to put stock f350 blocks in the rear. Blocks in the front is a big no-no.

Basically when he swapped in the d60, he kept the old leafs.
So he wants to swap in the d60/f350 leafs up front, and swap the rear for the 3" f350 blocks.

if anyone knows where you can get stock replacement F350 4wd springs, that would be amazing.

Check broncograveyard.com for the factory lift blocks.

Thanks for all the helpful responses. Looks like 43-516 is the spring I need. Stengel Bros seems to have the best price.

I'll keep hunting for the rear blocks. Might be a junk yard item when the weather warms a little.

Would you be willing to ship them to Michigan for some PayPal money?
