Dorman - OE Solutions Leaf Spring Assembly P/N:43-1297
Carry your truck's weight and payload with the Dorman leaf spring, part number 43-883, a direct replacement rear spring for the 1980-1981 and 1986-1996 Ford F-150 and the 1980-1981 Ford F-100. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
Leaf springs that work properly hold up the weight and payload of the vehicle, and they are central to suspension performance and passenger comfort. If an F-150 leaf spring is cracked, corroded or sagging, this rear leaf spring assembly is designed to take its place.
Leaf springs work as a left and right pair, so replacing both sides together is recommended for an even rear ride height.
