I rember a posting that listed a TSB on the rear leaf spring for the F150. It had to do with the strap breaking and the leafs getting out of alignment.

Does anyone still have this TSB number?

Ren, there was a recall for 4x4's that model year for potential cracking of the leaf fractures:
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 98V161000

Component: SUSPENSION:SINGLE AXLE:REAR:LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY
Manufacturer: FORD MOTOR COMPANY
Mfg. Campaign #: 98S18
Year: 1997
Make: FORD TRUCK
Model: F150
Potential Number of Units Affected: 202000

You can easily find this information yourself for any other TSB's or Recalls. From the homepage of this site, there is a link to the NHTSA site, and will send you directly to recalls or TSBs for your model.
It also helps others if you show your signature when posting a question. Hope this helps.
