Had a good scare...

Yeah it sucks the way they do it. You have to look at the springs then click on application to find out.

Ah I see it now...

Man that spring pack looks so DINKY. I've got 5 leaves + an overload... I just can't imagine that those Pro Comp springs can hold same the amount of weight...

I don't think that's an actual picture of the real deal. Here's mine.

 

[Skandocious]

Did it come with that overload spring? How is the ride quality compared to stock?

 

[surewhynot]

It came exactly as shown. The ride is identical to stock. That is why I chose to only go with a 6 inch spring and still use a block. A spring much bigger would have given a rough ride.

Well I believe my lift kit is somethin' like 4" in front and 2-2.5" in the rear, because my truck sits level after the kit. So I'll look around for a 2-3" lift spring. Thanks Tony.

No problem. If you can find a stock height truck like yours you could do some comparison measuring. Measure from the center of your axle to your wheel well and compare it to stock. That should tell you how much lift you have.

Now, I dunno much about lifts, but it would seem that after 13 years, that method wouldn't even be accurate +/- an inch, based on the varying sag I see in old trucks around here...

Or am I missing something?

Yeah the reason I figure is because its a 4" lift kit, and most lift kits are also leveling kits because these trucks are raked from the factory (bout 2 inches higher in the rear). And seeing as how my truck isn't raked now, it must be 2 inches higher in the front. Hence 2" lift springs in the rear

All that and no calculator. I am impressed!

 

[NeXtras]

Buy new ones lol!!

disconrinued by ford, you need to have them rebuilt. Remember when one of my leaves snapped?

Ok, but Tony said they sag, so should Chris look for like a 3-4" to allow for that??

Personally, I would go an extra inch or two higher than I wanted to allow the new springs to settle.
