the fsuperduty springs fit in the stock bracket location? seemed like they were longer to me. or did you take the stock brackets out and move them out so they'd work with the bigger springs?

thanks for posting this, i'm glad i found out now instead of halfway through the switch!

I moved my stock hangers. Cant remember if i only had to move one or both:dunno

I just want to forwarn you, that is ALOT of spring for a pickup

yeah, I know it'll ride stiff, I just don't want big crap stacks when I put my 6" lift on. Figure with 8 leaf rear springs I wont have to worry about ladder bars either. Thanks for the info man.

don't pay any mind to the block on the passenger side it's coming out ,and the tires are leaning cause i just had it jacked up doing wheel bearings and i haven't moved it yet, but i wound up using the superduty springs and shackels and superlift pivot brackets took me all of about 2 1/2 hours with a lift and an impact:eek:

you guys must hate your kidneys.cookoo
i moved down to a F350 2wd CC dually for my long distance truck due to the fact my body doesn't like the punishment a f450 puts on it. I'd routinely overload the truck to 18k gvw to get some ride comfort. there's no way you can do that to a pickup which is even lighter........cookoocookoocookoo

what do you possibly carry on that stock bed that requires so many thick HD springs?

he said its a pulling truck... so a sled. that's why i'm puttin em on mine too. i'm 20, i dont care about ride comfort! its a truck, if i want comfort i'll get a civic.


i'm gonna get a 60 under the front of mine, then 6" front springs, fsuperduty rear springs, and hopefully just one block in the rear. looks like those springs will eliminate the need of at least one 2" block. nice lookin truck!
