It's possible, but I wouldn't, you would have to delete a main spring to see any difference, the overload doesn't do anything until the pack is compressed. These were designed to sit higher in the rear, yours doesn't look overly high as is.

I'm talking about the four springs in the pack actively holding the truck up.

If you remove it, you will see zero difference in how high it sits.

The SPR code on my 1996 F250 4x4 HD is 64F.

Getting these twin-I-beam suspensions aligned gets tricky when you start adding a lift, even a small one.

No.

Rla didn't find an aftermarket equivalent to your specific springs. Your options are OEM, or an aftermarket with similar specs.

Hello,
I'm back on the new one.
I just replaced my front shock absorber springs with Moog CC824s recommended by Moog. The height is correct. Will it settle a little more?
The steering wheel has moved, but the car drives very well. I need to adjust the toe and see if the camber has moved, because visually, it doesn't look very positive.
Should I drive it for a bit longer to settle before making the adjustment, or not? I drove 6 km.
Thanks.

Moog CC824 is a spring, not shock absorber. I installed them on my f150 to pick the front up a touch.

Yes, drive it for longer to settle the springs.
