im doin my solid front axle swap soon n i was wondering since i have to install leaf spring brackets already would i be able to use a rear leaf spring instead of ordering ones made for front?? im thinkin the only prob would be the spring rate since the front ends heavier but im only runnin the 4.9l soo is there a big difference still??? all options would help thanks

btw if i was going to do this it would be with a pro comp 6in leaf spring heavy duty i believe pro comps part number is 23411

And why aren't you just getting front springs?

yea seriously... plus i wouldn't call the 4.9l a "light" engine... crank shaft etc is longer and heavier.

front springs r like 300 bucks more than a pair of rear ones n i no its not the lightest but sure its lighter than v8s in a way....n yea i see plenty of post about sas swaps im just wondering about this.....i guess its either try n see or order front ones
