Product Details
Description
Upgrade your Ford F-Series 4x4 with the Tuff Country 28280 Front EZ-Ride leaf springs—designed for a lifted, smoother ride without compromising everyday drivability. Built for 1980–1997 Ford F-250 4WD (diesel with V10 and gas) and 1986–1997 Ford F-350 4WD, this front spring brings enhanced comfort to demanding work trucks and weekend warriors alike.
- EZ-Ride Leaf Design: Tapered, snub rolled and pre-set for the most comfortable ride in a lifted configuration.
- Lift Height: Front springs delivering a 5" lift over factory height, improving off-road geometry while maintaining ride quality.

- Includes Poly Bushings: Ready-to-install with bushings included for secure mounting and reliable performance.
- Front Spring, Sold Per Leaf: Price shown is for one leaf spring; most applications require two springs for a complete front setup.
- Vehicle Fitment: Specifically designed for 1980–1997 Ford F-250 4WD (Diesel with V10 and Gas) and 1986–1997 Ford F-350 4WD.

Tuff Country’s EZ-Ride system is engineered to smooth out the ride on rough roads and light trails alike. The combination of advanced leaf geometry, friction-reducing Teflon inserts, and included bushings helps minimize road noise, improves load handling, and preserves a more stable stance after installation. This is especially beneficial for trucks that see daily driving, towing, and occasional off-road use, delivering a balanced, controlled feel rather than a harsh, pogo-stick ride. With proper installation (two springs typically required for the front axle), you can expect dependable performance and a lifted look that enhances approach angles and stance without sacrificing steering precision or comfort.
