I just bought a 93 F150 2wd. It has a few issues that need to be fixed before I can pass inspection. One is that the passenger leaf spring has two broken leaves. They're also pretty rusty so I plan on redoing the mounts and shackles. I've looked around for new springs and they seem to be pretty expensive. At least more money than I care to spend on a truck I bought to be a beater. I plan on sourcing a used set on Craigslist or from a junk yard so my question is what vehicles can I use as a donor? My research so far I believe any 2wd F150 from 80-96 will work. But since I plan on redoing the brackets anyways I can use 3" springs from an F250, F350 or a 4x4 F150 right? How about E150/250/350 vans? I believe springs from OJ style Broncos will work too? I'm just looking to see what options I have for parts vehicles so I can find something in the best condition. Thanks.

 

Not 100% sure about vans, but you are spot on with all of your other assessments. Make sure to get new u-bolts.
