hi, i was wondering if anybody new how much lift 3/4 ton springs give a short box 4x4 ford f150? i wantted to swap them in because my 1/2 ton springs are sagging. if i did that, how do i lift the front of the truck enough to level out?

 

I put 3/4 ton springs in my Ext cab short box f-150, the truck sits 2 inches higher in the rear with brand new springs for a light duty 3/4 ton in the front.

 

You can take the rear blocks out, thats a good thing to do...

Or you can leave the blocks and get new front coil springs that lift the front end 1.5-2"...but that'll be about $100-$150, plus alignment and probably new shocks.

Make sure your shocks are long enough at full suspension droop.

 

.......so lemme get this straight.....if i put 3/4 ton springs in the rear it would give me 4 inches of lift...but if i take the blocks out it would only lift the rear about 2 inches?

thanks...

 

The blocks are 2 inch lift blocks.


If you want more lift, you can do rear shackle flip.

I'd consider this without just to get rid of the rear blocks.

 

I put 3/4 ton springs in my shortbox 4x4 f150, and it lifted the rear up a good 6" I ended up getting some of those spacers for the front coils, kinda leveled it out..........said the heck with it, and purchased a Trailmaster 6" and now it is all good!!!!!! lol
