I know they are stiff, but I am fixing to add a Ranch Hand front and rear and a 18k winch. What are your thoughts on these?

they are not only incredibly stiff, but will add roughly 4in of height. too bad you're on the other side of the country, I have four f450's getting prepped for scrap this weekend. you're welcome to a set of springs if you were closer.

I've been thinking about a set for my DT466 project. The extra 400 or so pounds of the DT may be a good match for the F450 springpack. Then again, maybe not. LOL

More than 2 hours riding trails and I'm irritated lol. The nice thing is when your stuck and have to hammer on it, the front springs are so stiff the front end can't hop.

A few pictures of mine with f450 springs and a 3 inch body lift.

The one with the trailer was before the body lift.

I was thinking about putting fsuperduty springs in my truck but with the extra height it would not fit in the garage to work on it anymore.

I had the old F-superduty springs in my truck, and the ride was bad. I am talking about the old superduty thick springs, if I remember there was only 2 or 3 thick spring leafs. I replaced with superlift springs and my kidneys, teeth, top of head (head to roof hurts) (I am 6' 3") are all good now. The superlifts I installed were 5 in lifts, so the front of the truck is higher than the rear, but looks good. They call that stance down here "Shotgun" for some reason. I would love to go with a coil front end, but would need alot of custom work and then you might end up with the death wobble like some Dodges and the 2011 F-250's

Wow - I love my F-Superduty springs! Granted mine is IFS, it seems to ride a lot better.
?? did you have to do a custom drop bracket for teh center pivots? this is on a dana 50 right? do you have any front shots from down low?
