1988 F150 leaf spring question
I need to replace the leaf springs on my 88 F150. The code on the door sticker for the rear spring is "L". I'm looking at springs online and see rates of 1655 lbs, 1700 lbs, 1850 lbs, etc. Can anyone tell me which one I would need to get as close to the OEM as possible?
Also, I've not replaced leaf springs before and will be You Tubing and looking at DVD factory shop manual for instructions. Any tips from experienced members are appreciated!!
Thanks
Derek

I was looking around for some info and found SD Springs on the web. They have a nice database of the spring codes with all the details/specs including OEM part number. They're apparently 1655# springs. I also cross checked this with factory shop manual part number. I purchased from SD, best price I could find.
