Message:		First see if it has the ratio tags in the location noted. It's best to be as close as possible to your existing ration, otherwise performance and fuel economy will suffer. Next, measure from center of spring perch to center of spring perch to see if the spring perches are the correct distance apart. Then look at the shear pin to make sure that the spring pad will mate to the main leaf spring. Check the spring eyes, to be sure that they are the same size as your spring shackle bolts. Check the yoke to make sure that the u-joint/yoke connection will match up with your driveline. Look and determine how the e-brake attach's, drum off of the transmission or cable to the rear axle? Does the ford have the same e-brake connections? Check the width and lug bolt pattern. If everything matches them you're good to go....
