4400# 7 leaf spring code and pics?
Looking for some beefy springs for my build. I dont like how most new 350s you throw a little landscape trailer on em and theyre dragging ***.
I prefer to have the rear end higher than the front unloaded, and wiuth 2000 lbs of wood or metal in the bed have it at least level.
Ford Rear Heavy Duty Leaf Spring F250SD, F350SD - 7 Leafs, 4400lbs. | $169.95
i have seen these 7 leaf version on a few sites but no OEM number. is this purely an aftermarket setup?
or am i going overkill, and should I just get some C code 4/1 leafs which are a total height of 9.1". or another stock version ?? Two stge seems nice since i dont need to have that helper spring with its own mounts.
these show a total height of 10.4", but 3000 lbs only. http://www.sdtrucksprings.com/index....oducts_id=1538
My tires and wheels are good for 7300 lbs total, so i would like to be close to that..

It kind of depends on what you think is going to be enough for your vehicle. The 43-1263HD is a pretty heavy spring. We sell them a lot to customers who do heavy landscaping and a lot of asphalt and seal coating. (A lot of weight int he bed along with a lot of weight on the trailer or equipment they are towing)
We have an in between spring between the 43-1263 and 43-1263HD. It gives you approximately 1,000 lbs over stock for the entire rear springs. It gives you a "best of both worlds" kind of thing, more weight capacity without killing the ride that the HD would give you.
Let me know if you would like me to send you some pricing.

43-1263HD Truck Springs
There is the heavy-duty version and there is the 43-1263 as well which I believe is a lighter version of the same thing. I found it at
AUTOMANN 7 LEAF HD SPRING 6/1 43-1263HD
and the guy was willing to beat sdtrucksprings by $20 and had it shipped straight to my company for a F350 landscaping truck. The springs are super heavy duty.
Good Luck!
