Leaf Springs sagging
So I have noticed my leaf springs are starting to sag more lately. I was going to do an add a leaf but I think it might be best to do something else. What should I do? Should I go get another set maybe from the junk yard or get them reworked? Can I used the spings out of a light duty f250 or even a set out of a super duty? I want them back to normal plus a few more inches. Any ideas
So I looked and SD spings wont fit, too short. Next Idea is maybe some light duty f250 springs from a junk yard if I could find some or new ones.

7700 or F250 ld springs will fit. They are the same between 2wd/4wd. I did the swap a few years ago it added right about 1.5" to the rear of the truck. I do recommend however putting a better valved shock such as a bilstein or a kyb monomax in the rear to dampenthem a little better becuase they are stiff and it will bounce a little more.

I'm also looking for some springs but for my old ranchero. If you get used it may start sagging again soon but it is a whole lot cheaper than buying new. If you need heavier springs maybe get some overloads. I have them on my truck but I'm not realy sure how much they actually help but I can tell you the truck still squats down a bit with 2000 lbs in the back. And they give you a much stiffer ride.
