Hey guys my 1992 f150 shortbed single cabs suspension is pretty much shot. My question is for the rear can I put in f250 leaf springs and delete the factory blocks? I want the suspension to be stiffer encase i decide to haul anything and if you get two people on the tailgate you almost bottom it out.. Any input is appreciated. I've searched this already and haven't come up with an answer so i thought i might as well ask.

You have to change the spring hangers as the 250 springs are wider.

alright. Do you know how much lift it would gain without deleting the rear blocks?

I believe you get 2", more if your old springs are sagging.

Thought you only had to change the hangers if it's a 2wd f150 you are putting them on.

Not sure about that. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

you are right, f250 leafs are 3" wide, f150 4wd leafs are 3" wide, f150 2wd trucks are 2.5" wide.

so yes, if your f150 is 4wd you can use f250 rear leafs.

sweet thanks guys. Is it safe to have leafs resting straight on the axle? just curious because it didnt come that way

Yes it's just fine. I have done this to 3 92-96 f150s and it's a great mod!
The factory f150 leaf packs are terribly soft and crack over time from sagging.
My current 93 f150 is running 03 f250 superduty rear leafs and there the best set I have tried yet!
There better quality steel and bushings and a better ride and load capacity then the 92-97 f250 leaf packs.

have to 2nd that, ill be replacing all 4 leaf packs with SD packs to soften up the ride + give my truck a lil lift.
