2004-2008 Ford F150 Leaf Spring Repair Kit and Installation Instructions | 43-1679-2 

This kit worked perfectly. I highly recommend it.

From a retired mechanic in Land Down Under, suggest you place a thin sheet of steel across the back of each wheel when used the oxy cutting torch to remove the top nuts. There are brake hoses and other items that may not care for a "roasting" with molten steel splashes. You may have had something in place but I did not see it. Otherwise well done. The only extra thing I have done with U bolts is after tightening give them a substantial "love tap" or two with a lump hammer to help the U bolts seat into place. Then give them another check with a torque wrench. I generally find the U bolts take another 1/2 or so rotations before they get back to torque spec. However, you will have no doubt fitted many more U bolts then I have and you may have another trick or two up your sleeve. You have a thumbs up.

Bought my repair kit today from your shop , thanks for the great instructional video !

Now that you're making this spring fix-it kit available, I'd expect a lot of vintage CARS with sagging rear leaf springs to ask for something similar. I remember a friend who had a Ford Maverick, many decades ago, and how badly the rear sagged. He put on extra long shackles to correct the problem but, it looked pretty bad going down the road.

AWESOME VIDEOS SCOTT! VERY INFORMATIVE FOR A LEAF SPRING ACCOUNTS MANAGER LIKE ME. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.👍

congratulations on 100K..and already up 25K..that hard work and great content with your affable presentation is paying off..well deserved..

I’ve never really had any luck just changing out just one leaf in a pack the main leaf breaks shortly after. To change out the springs in that truck you’d be into new shackles and hardware. New springs are cheaper to buy nowadays with them being mass produced. When I was in my teens with 1 ton Ford dually trucks back in 95/96 we’d have to get a spring shop to make spring packs, it was expensive back then. Dendoff springs in Vancouver BC was the most common company to use. A lot of guys would get their springs re-arched that was pretty much a bandaid it wouldn’t last long.

Been a lot of years since I have a vehicle with leaf springs. Spring technology must have changed a lot since I had one, my 1 tonne ute back in the day had a pack of 5 leaves in it.

looked pretty simple, all i need is a hole in the ground to roll over- a torch to cut off those parts- die grinder- i have the air wrench and sockets- and the kit... no problem!!

Do you think that we should do both sides while we are working on it?

What is the likelihood of removing those nuts and bolts without a torch? I have a reciprocating saw and die grinder.

Do u have repair kit for 2006 ford ranger. How much

You make it look easy ?
