Front Coil Springs - 1972 F250 8100 GVW

Post by sparky72 »

Hi all,

I know this topic has been discussed before but I don’t think there’s been a conclusive answer (if there is one). I have a 72 F250 with the 8100 GVW “package.” I need new front coil springs but they seem very hard to find. I’ve seen some folks discuss using springs from F350s of later vintages with varying degrees of success, but it seems like camber gets messed up and the springs don’t fit in the radius arm buckets quite right.

Is there a place to get stock replacement springs (even made-to-order)? Or is there some replacement spring that verifiably works well?

I know one robroy dealt with this in the past but it’s probably been 10 years now!

Thanks for any help :D

Eaton is one that I know of. Call them talk to them about your setup and they can get you the springs you need.
