Default Leaf Springs.

I was wondering if f250 leaf springs will fit on a f150? i have a set laying around and i think the ones on my f150 are going bad. would there be any draw backs to putting 3/4 ton springs on a 1/2 ton?

aslong as your f150 is 4x4, they should bolt right up. you will notice a stiffer ride and your rear may sit a tad higher.

You would have to buy f250 badges.


Actually all kiddin aside in the late 90's they made a f250 " light duty" that was the f150 bubble body style. It had better leaf springs and I think not positive 7 lug wherls.

if you wana put it LD leaf springs, im pretty sure they will be different. everyone just does the normal f250 to f150 swap.
