Spring weight rating??
I have a 92 f350 7.3l IDI cclb. What's the weight rating for my front springs? And the weight of the front end? Looking to put a new set of leafs under it and have a set off a f450 diesel. I Have a shackle reversal kit that makes up for the length difference.
Thanks!

A F450 has X code springs rated at 2,630lbs
Now, a F450 weighs about 1000lbs more than your truck to begin with,
So by putting a Heaver spring in a lighter truck will Kill what ride the RSK will be giving you
You want a U code Superduty spring(2,030lbs)

The Super Dutys came with different spring codes. If you want the most height out of the family of front springs than go with the X code. It may give you a little firmer ride but you will gain the most height on top of you using the RSK.

I ran the super duty springs in my 97 f250 with a 351 in it and the ride was good, so not worried about the weighting being to heavy just wanted to make sure it would be enough. Thanks
Yes I want the most height I can get, that's why I went with the super duty springs to begin with

So you were not sure if a 15,ooolb gvw trucks springs would be heavy enough for your 9,200lb gvw truck? Seriously?
