Guys, Need thoughts. I put new rear springs on my 1977 F250. I wanted close to stock height, but looks like it now has way too much Rake in it (about 6"). The measurement from the rear fender to the axle center is about 27". I want to level it back out. I am OK with a little rake, but not that much. Was thinking to put stock highboy springs on it. Will that get me close or do I need more? Aslo what mods do I need to do with steering? Do I need a drop pitman if I take it up to stock highboy height? Anything else to make it right, and reliable?

 

How many miles has it logged with the new rear leafs? And are those leafs straight up replacements?

Gotta let it experience some loads and jounce before determining the next step.

 

Just put them on... they maybe have 100 miles on them. I got a set of heavy duty springs with higher rate from a place called Carrier Spring. I did ask them to make them as close to stock as possible with the block removed, but I think they are most definitely higher than stock. Thanks for the reply.

 

The back looks close to stock to me. Maybe a little high. I would be looking to raise the front rather than lower the back for a stock look.
