rear suspension
I have a 2012 F-150, FX4 and she recently got a little mangled. I'm curious what chances are I can install rear leaf springs from a same year F-250 under my truck while I'm doing the fix up..

Thanks for the reply, Sooner. Basically, I just want to increase towing cap.. and get rid of squat when I do tow anything. I know I can get a load enhancer but I figured since I need a new spring anyway, why not just kill two tasks at one time.

I put a Roadmaster Active Suspension on my '13, and it greatly decreased the squat while towing--I occasionally tow a Ford 1910 4WD tractor with 770A loader on a 16' utility trailer, and the whole package is somewhere between 5500 and 6000lbs. Before the RAS, it squatted like it had a ton of bricks in the bed, but now it hardly sinks at all.
It's an easy install, and everything you need (excluding tools, jack, and jack stands, of course) is in the kit. Legally, nothing can increase your towing capacity over stock, but the RAS does claim a payload increase. I want to say it's around 40% over stock, but the paperwork is in the garage.
