So my 86 has the standard HD 3/4 ton springs, and I’d like to get new springs for the front, and stiffer for the rear.
Well really, I’d like to Dana 60 swap the truck, but keep the TTB springs as I understand they are stiffer, but mine are sacked out in the front, and need replaced or re arched. But I digress
The 1990 c&c F350 that I have taken the turbo 7.3 from for my 86 has some wicked lookin springs in the back, but they are overload, and my 86 F250 is not, so it doesn’t have the overload brackets on the frame. I think they are riveted to the frame though.
I see non overload springs for the F Super Duty trucks on the internet, can those be used on an F250? I don’t care about ride quality, but this rig is gonna see off road fire truck and feed truck duty from hell this winter and spring, so it needs to be stiff.
Would like any suggestions on this, need to have stiffer springs before Thanksgiving
