Spring length front axle
I am in the process of swapping my D250 to 4wd and I am looking to use a set of leaf springs out of the junkyard until I can afford a set of atlas springs. I know I need a 2.5 inch wide spring but what is the length of the spring should I be looking for in my local pick a part to hold me over until then. I have fab skills and a great welder. I can build the mounts and shackles but I don't wanna buy springs that are too long or too short. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this has been gone over. I used the search and didn't see what I was looking for.
Btw my truck is a 91.5 D250 and I bought a Dana 60 out of a 91 dodge W250 |
Here ya go.

Wow this site never disappoints. Should I get the 1750 lb spring or the 1900 lb for under the heavy cummins. I don't wanna buy a set that will sag right away. Thanks again!

my stock ones have 6 leaves so I would go with the 1900#

I appreciate all your help Mark. While I'm able to pick your brain. Any idea where I could pick put a set of 4 inch lift blocks and u bolts for the rear axle to level her out?? Thanks for all the help.

I purchase my ubolts from a local truck shop. They make them on site and are cheaper after shipping costs. Might want to check around.

Some people do the rear shackle flip to gain a few inches instead of blocks. Depending how you plan to use the truck, that might be worth looking into.
