this ain't got nuttin to do with tractors but I figgerd you guys could help.
I have a 79' F-100 that needs new leaf springs,
was thinking of useing springs off of a 79' style 3/4 ton. would that work? how much would it raise the rear end? and then how much should I pay for used ones from a junk yard?
any help would be great!

Not starting anything, but I seen guys try this on a chevy once, the 3/4 ton springs are flatter(less arch) than the 1/2 ton and they had to use a 4-5 inch spacer to make the pickup sit level again.

I know they are not the same arch, and if it don't sit level it's O.K, going to put front springs off of a 3/4 ton too, sooo it WILL sit level when I am done.. Thanks any how, Tim Shultz

I would be hesitant to use used springs - already lost their springiness! Check with NAPA - or a spring shop.

Had a 72 Dodge 3/4 ton that wouldn't carry any kind of load due to weak springs. Went to a salvage yard and bought 2 Chevy 1/2 ton springs for 50.00 and added about 3 spring to each of the Dodge springs. Seem to raise the Dodge about 3 inches and could carry weight better. I also replaced the front coil springs with chevy 3/4 ton coils. That wasn't as easy as the leafs.
