helper springs for 1996 Ford F-250 4 x 4

how much room should there be between the front axle and the rubber bumpers on the frame ?

the springs on the front arch up instead of down like rear leafs do.

should the front springs arch down like the rear springs ?

should i get new front springs or add helpers springs ? if so what kind of helpers ?

1996 F-250

is the truck setting too low ? or is it good ?

Your springs are designed with a reverse arch…

krooser is right. The F250s use reverse arch front springs. It looks to be the same height as every other F250 I've seen.

that truck looks lifted to me. in that case, springs are arched "the right way".


take a pic of the front axle and wheels, from the front, and a better analysis can be had of what you need.
