ADD A LEAFS

Hey everyone I need a little help, im putting add a leafs on the back of my 97 f250 hd. I got them in today and they only measure 2" across and I know the rear leafs are 3" across. I called the company and told them my issue and the guy said the would work on my truck. I'm kinda leary on putting them on then not workin so if anyone can give me a anwser if this guy is right or just tellin me they will so he don't gotta deal with a return.thanks

Return them and try another brand or get lift springs for a 350.

He doesnt wanna deal with the return, get an RMA anyway an send'em back. You can get 5900 lb springs for 300 for the paair, but theyre a stiff ride

If they aren't 3" wide, don't compromise your own safety if you even have second thoughts about putting them under your truck. Return them, keep your peace of mind, and look again for some 3" wide springs.

I bet they sent you F250 Light Duty add-a-leafs. Our 97 HDs are the red headed step children of Fords . Tell them you have a 96.
