Rough as a cob

2nd question of the day...

As mentioned in a couple of previous posts, I picked up an 07' F350 4x4 with 165k out of the auction.

It has a stiff stiff ride...

I rarely pull super heavy and it has air-bags (previous owner) for when I do.

Do the F250s ride measurably any better - especially via the rear? Would it make a difference in general driving to switch the rear leaf springs to some out of an F250?

Any of you folks had both and can compare?

Thanks for all your help.

What do the rear springs look like? Still factory looking? How many leafs.

Alot of the 250 and 350 trucks shared a lot of the rear suspensions.

Two 2007 F250s - one has the base level rear pack, one has the plow/camper pack upgrade with aux and overload. Empty I don't think the rear makes a big difference. The front 5200# coils versus 6000# coils is a pretty drastic change through.
