Rear Upper Overload spring

I’m a new happy owner of an F-250 SD with the camper package, GVWR 10,500 lbs. Prior to take delivery of my 2100 lbs camper, I will install the urethane “stableload TLA7200” pucks. There’s so much gap between the leaf tips and the stop bracket on the frame, it would likely take a SERIOUS overload to have these engaging. Anybody knows why such pucks (as the stableload blocks) don’t come standard when the overload leaf is present?

TIA

Good question, the pads Ford uses are no where near king enough to engage the overland spring, unless the rear is sagging 3-4 inches it seems.

BTW, I have a set of Super Spring super sway stops I am not using, if interested.

I use the super sway stops myself. They fit the stock mounting plate well.

These kind work just fine and are a fraction of the cost. I have 8 total and cost me under $50.

Because most F-250s are generally used as cars and occasionally for light hauling. Having the overload springs DISengaged gives a better ride, but if the truck does find itself loaded with some weight, it doesn't squat anything like an F-150 would.
