Info needed: Ford CMP 15cwt Hard Riding

[Tim Bates]

The springs on my F15 have been greased and wrapped with denso tap or something similar (looks like a grease filled wrapping possibly may even be hessian). Truck runs fine loaded or unloaded on rough ground or on the road.

Only issue would be having to strip them down to do this.

The other option is to oiled springs, I have done this with good results in the past on other vehicles, but you'll need to try and keep them reasonably clean to stop dirt getting in between the leaves.
