front leaf springs???

Post by Power By Ford 70 F250 4x4 »

I took my leaf springs off and sand blasted them.Then I painted them with POR-15,they look great.Problem is they are longer on one end than the other,which means there is a front and rear to the springs.Does anyone know if the short end goes to the front like I think I remember?

What are these springs on? 4x4? front or back? I don't think I've seen springs like that ona stock bump.

They are off the front of my f250 4x4 I measure from the center bolt to the center of each bushing and its 1 1/2" difference.

I just measued mine on my 70. the back end was a little over in inch longer so long end goes to the rear, short to the front.
