is there a fix for a bent spring mount my truck was jumped before me and the previous owner bent the spring perch till its touching the fram is there a easy fix for this like bending it back out or will it not work just let me know thanks cause its making the truck lean and drive rough cause the radius arm is sitting on the rubber bump stop

I replied to your other thread before I realized you were talking about the front suspension, not the rear. But take some pics of it so we know which bracket your talking about. And have you seen this kit yet?

These might be a better starting point than the drop brackets and f-150 springs. You could gusset the beams and still extend the stock radius arms and give you a much better setup.

all i did was bend the brackets back out with chain and a come along just put the truck on a jackstand on that side and hooked a chain to it and used a comealong to bend the spring perch back out
put it back to stock height and then left it alone for a while then i found out i was deploying and sold it
