Details on Ford F150 leaf spring swap?

[ThatJeepGuy]

Can anyone elaborate to me the function and reasoning behind going with f150 leaf springs? Lots of hear say to do soo but no real install details.

 

Is it availability? Weight capacity? Longevity? Do they offer any amount of lift? 

 

Does anyone have some before and after install notes of interest. 

 

Not soo much the hear say of the swap I'm looking for your experience if you've done the swap.

 

I had a miss hap over the weekend and wrecked another set of MJ specific leaf springs and looking for a financially effective solution to my spring problem

Wow, what did you do to break those springs!  

I am not familiar with the F150 spring setup you mention but I have to expect they are higher capacity than a stock set of Comanche springs as an F150 is a larger higher capacity truck theoretically.

Certain years f150 and explorers share leaf spring lengths and are very close to the same offset as Comanche’s. They don’t have much arch in their factory forms but can make decent SOA springs from the ones I’ve seen. Load capacities also vary.
