So I know these are not stock. ...at least I think. I am hoping you all can help me identify what they are?
Under load: (full gas tank, no top, no back seat, 37" spare on bumper with swing out carrier)
They measure 47 1/2" Eye to eye. They have between 4 1/4" and 4 1/2" or droop under load, when drawing a straight line between the mounting bolts at each end. They have 5 leaves, including what looks to be an add-a-leaf that is second from the bottom.
I am asking what they are so, I can replace them with a spring that will offer more flex; and these ride stiffer than I would like. The PO did do a shackle reversal (which I am under the impression that isn't as good for travel as the original ford design) and installed these springs. I am a little worried about getting a new spring that will, both fit, and keep the current ride height.
Any ideas??
thanks!
