Rear Leaf Spring- Each

The BELL TECH Rear Leaf Spring (Part 5986) is a multi-leaf steel suspension component engineered for 3-inch lowering applications on Ford full-size trucks from 1997–2003. This single rear leaf spring delivers consistent load support and ride geometry correction, making it ideal for operators and enthusiasts who require a specific suspension geometry for tactical vehicle setups, off-road capability improvements, or custom truck configurations.

Constructed from hardened steel and finished in durable black paint, the multi-leaf design distributes suspension stress across multiple layers, reducing fatigue at any single stress point. The 61-inch length accommodates the full span required for mid-size to full-size truck applications. At 49.85 lbs per spring, this component matches OEM weight characteristics, ensuring proper suspension balance when paired with the complementary front suspension modifications. The 3-inch lowering specification maintains functional ground clearance while optimizing vehicle stance for improved handling dynamics and brake dive reduction.

This rear leaf spring replacement targets Ford F-150, F-250, and Bronco owners executing controlled suspension geometry changes for patrol duty vehicles, off-road recovery trucks, or vehicles requiring predictable handling under variable load conditions. Installation as part of a complete lowering kit ensures proper suspension kinematics and maintains factory-compatible ride characteristics. Single-spring replacement is suitable for staged upgrades or localized wear replacement.

Multi-leaf springs remain industry standard for light truck applications due to their proven durability, progressive load response, and compatibility with factory suspension geometry. BELL TECH components are recognized for OEM-spec manufacturing standards in the suspension aftermarket. Verify fitment with your specific model year and existing suspension configuration before purchase.
