Rear Springs

On a recent trip to my friendly Ford Dealer I ask the tech working on my truck about the rear springs. The previous week I had hauled a load of dirt which I didn't think it was enough to justify squatting down and riding on the overloads. He looked at them and then called over the warranty Mgr. because he thought they looked like they were sagging or flattening out. He agreed and said he would check into getting me some different springs. Well a couple of weeks have gone by and now he said that he will have some new ones in next Monday. He said that they are a heavier rated 1Ton spring. Now for my question. I thought 1 ton and 3/4 ton springs were the same?? I do have the camper package but is there a heavier spring out there?? Can I expect this to give me any lift?? The whole reason of asking them was just to see if they could swap the blocks to 4" blocks and help out the squatting issue.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

About the springs. Mainly are there heavier rated springs that would come with a 1 ton than that of what would come on the camper package. And if so what is the weight rating.

As far as I know the rears are the same except for the overload sometimes on the top. And sometimes not..The dual rear wheel of course has heavyer springs
