Guys need some help.
#1. Nine leaf low arch front. What does it fit?
#2.eight leaf high arch front. What does it fit?
Can not find in Lang’s catalog a listing. These supposedly came out of Ford dealer in1950’s.
The nine leaf has two leafs same size? Thanks for any info. Dan

I'm not really sure, but i THINK the eight leaf spring is for 1926-27 T's and the nine leaf is a TT spring.
Hopefully someone who knows for sure will chime in.

Up until about April 1925 Ford used the standard seven leaf spring. About that time they came out with the new style eight leaf which was used through the end of production, and is one inch lower than the previous seven leaf. Most likely the nine leaf is indeed for a ton truck. Probably the parts book would tell.

Checked in the Ford Price List of Parts book, August 5, 1928. 9 leaf front springs are for TT truck, 8 leaf front springs are for 26-27 car, 7 leaf front springs for 09-25 car.
