Rembrant Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 This might be a dumb question, I don't know...but are the spring plates different widths between 2wd F150 and 4x4 F150 on the 8.8 rear diffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Yes. The 2wd trucks had 2 1/2" wide springs and the 4wd trucks had 3" wide springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Yes. The 2wd trucks had 2 1/2" wide springs and the 4wd trucks had 3" wide springs. Ok, thanks Gary. I was curious if they just used wider top plates for both the 2.5" and 3" leaf springs, or if they had different sized plates. I guess that answers that. I thought about it after I asked the question though, and I assume the diffs were all the same, so the spring perches must have always been 3" wide?

Actually, I can't prove what top plates, 5798, came with 2wd or 4wd. The info below is literally all I find in the MPC for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
