suspension help needed
ok so heres what I have going on. I installed new rancho rsx shocks and skyjacker coil springs 182s .leveling springs. they say they are 1.5 to 2 in higher than stock. now its time to do the rear leafs. they are original and one of them is broken. Now the front sits slightly higher than the rear of course. I would like to beef the rear springs up some from factory original because of towing boat, snow mobile trailer etc.... If i was to install F250 leafs would it be level? How much higher do f250 springs raise up a stock 150? any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Typically from years of use, the rear springs will start to sag and lose some height. However, if I were you, I would get 2 new sets of leaf spring packs with an add a leaf on both sides. I'm not sure about using the F250 leafs, although I'm sure someone knows.

Thanks GNR22. I just got truck back from the body shop had new cab corners rocker panels and rear bed sides welded in and painted. Looks like a new truck. I measured the difference in height from front and back. The front sits almost an inch higher than rear now. I think Youre right about the original leafs sagging so I will install new ones and see how it sets. I can always put in an add a leaf later if need be. Thanks for Youre input!!
