My '93 F250 4WD rides really really hard when empty. I mean, bouncing off the headliner. My kidneys and fillings sure notice it on our potholed, washboarded dirt roads. It has the 6084 lb (GAWR) Sterling axle.
I checked the rear leaf springs and they are 4+1 leaves with 2-1/4" total thickness, and what looks like a stock 2" lift block. According to this table:
https://www.generalspringkc.com/Leaf_Springs_Ford_F250_1980_1997_s/1870.htm
those are 2810 lb (each) springs, which should also be stock. The door sticker says spring code 94A but I can't find any info on that code.
I've noticed that the bed looks slightly twisted, too. The right rear sits higher than the left rear but there is no obviously broken leaf on the left side.
What else should I be looking for? Possibly frozen shocks?
thanks for any help.
