I want to stop the sag in the rear of my F250 when I load it so I have been looking at 2 options. 1 put in Tuff Country Add A Leafs or 2: use 2" blocks and use air bags. Either way I am going to use Monroe Reflex F350 shocks on the back. I like the idea of not having to screw around with air using the add a leaf but the other side of me is concerned about ride. What would you do?


Thanks

 

Put a set of 5 inch blocks in it. The ride won't change at all.

 

I hadidn't a spring shop make me a custom bent long ado a leaf for my 2004 f350, while I had the springs out I also replaced the top and bottom overload springs for a thicjer/stronger set from a f350 dually. It had no effects on the ride quality of my truck and gave me about 3/4 to an inch of lift and greatly increased my payload

 

F350 blocks are 2" taller. I would swap those in, you may also need the F350 u-bolts. There is no easier way to get +2" in the rear of an F250. Add-a-leafs (AAL) in my experience altered the ride for the worse.

 

If you don't have the factory overload maybe you could get one from the junk yard? If you do have one my friend used spacers on the overload spring to help his truck out for camper hauling. Here is a pic of similar:

 

I went with Tough Country 82950 Add A Leaf 2" lift springs that I ordered last week so they should be here in a week or 2 as they are being sent from Tough Country to my supplier in Toronto then to me. Also put the Monroe Reflex shocks on it this weekend and all I have about them is Wow what a difference in ride.

 

so you havent installed the springs yet, just the shocks?
I guess the ride is better?

 

Have you installed the spring yet? Any feed back on ride unloaded/loaded? I am in need of a AAL in the rear of my truck.
