Hi
I hope someone can help, I live in the UK and love driving my F150, I am trying to locate the following part YL3Z5560CA (rear leaf spring), but having no luck I am being advised by the various people I have contacted in the UK & the US that this part is now obsolete.

My Vehicle Model: 2001 Ford F150 Harley Davidson
Vin no: 1FTRW07L01KA31079
Part no required: YL3Z5560CA
Description: Rear leaf spring
Quantity required: 2 (1 for each side)

I would greatly appreciate anyones help in locating this part, who would have thought it would be this difficult to locate a part for such an iconic vehicle.

Kind Regards

Richard

 

I can't believe that a part for a 2001 truck is oblsolete. Try contacting FTE Parts Guy. Or maybe a Ford Dealer in the US.

I have tried FTE parts guy but they are noy currently accepting orders.

 

Thats weird. Well maybe try Direct Ford Parts then. If that doesn't work check out Bronco Graveyard. They have F Series parts so its worth a shot. You could also check with NPD and LMC. You could also ask the Lightning guys on NLOC.

you could look into a drop leaf? lower the stance 3" and save some cash.

you could buy replacement rear leaf springs from virtually any truck spring shop. It does not necessarily have to be an oem part. Why dont you contact a truck spring shop in your country? New ones here are a couple hundred a side aftermarket. It goes by length, axle center mounting pin location and spring rates, very simple.

 

I have a set of rear leaf springs from a 2003 lightning D code YL34-5560CA thay have RPN1473 2L 34-AB stamped on them, The lightning had 1600 miles,When thay were replaced with a HOTCHKIS T.V.S.

Good suggestion. I would think any good spring shop could make a set.
However you could try stengelbros.com I bet they can supply.

 

there are always people selling parts when they have upgraded to aftermarket. i would jus check classifieds from different sites.
