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.
Leaf Springs for 1972 - 1993 Dodge D300, D400

 

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 got my bolts at Summit racing. They should have the blocks too.

 

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.

 

Great idea. Thanks for the tip!

 

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.

 

I was asking my dad about that. I always like to consult for wisdom of older gentleman. Lol I think I'm just gonna pick up a set of blocks and run those until I can afford to do atlas springs on all four corners. That way I can lift her and get a nice set of parabolics at the same time. This swap is just getting the truck back on the road. Upper A Arm on driver side took a dump so it's fix a 2wd or just use it as a reason to talk the wife into a 4wd swap. (So glad she doesn't like forums). Lol

 

Dang, those prices look cheap. Have you tried them?

 

No I haven't got that far yet. I am still working on getting mine on the road.

 

I ordered a set last night. I'll post what I think of them. Thanks again Mark!
