4" Spring lift possability
Good evening all, I have a 1989 f250 XLT Lariat F250 7.3 IDI 4x4. By lack of intellect, I destroyed my rear axle. I am about to take off my bed just to make it a easier swap, but was gonna do my rear leaf springs as well. I've been looking to do a subtle (2-4") lift on her as I plan on using her as a hauling rig. I only want to swap the springs, as I have new shocks on already. Id prefer to not have to use blocks or change my drive shaft or anything of the sort. I was looking at the BDS Glide-Ride springs, but I am looking for recommendations.
Thank you for any ideas/comments!

If you're looking to use it as a hauling rig then you have to decide if you want springs to handle the weight you're hauling and it will ride like crap empty or do you want a soft ride empty and deal with the squat when loaded.

from experience, if you're trying to raise the front more than an inch or two, you're going to run out of camber adjustment.
+1 for ATS- I have 5 years on a pair of their springs, and am still very happy with ride height and spring rate.
