can someone identify these springs? they were on a 92 f-150 and they have 12 leafs. i found them on the side of the shop this afternoon while looking for some spares.

2.5" or 3" width?

Had a set of Nationals that were pretty much identical to these, 2-1/2" with the weird reversed front eye, 4" longer than Bronco length.

National used to make a great spring for trucks. They changed ownership and alienated a lot of customers. No reason those can't work as well as a comparable Deaver pack.

Those must be 2.5 wide springs. Don't forget you'll need spacers or washers on mount them in your 3" hangars. A longer shackle will be a nice addition too.
