I was having a real problem with the front end on my 79F.  I put the progressive springs in, added a longer spacer for preload since I'm a toad, and it cured all the problems.  What was misleading to me, was the original springs met specs when I measured them.  They were just tired I guess, and the front end felt like it was floating, or sliding on ice.  Now, rock solid.  You'll enjoy them.
