Is this a thing? I'm about 3000 miles now (5000 kms) and have tested with my trailer which sagged it an inch for a short 80-90 mile test loop, otherwise empty, between upping the factory spare from the skinny little 31.5" 17" to a 18" steely and a 285 75r18 and then 50-55 lbs of rubber bed mat and maybe 71 lbs of bakflip tonneau, it appears now only have about 1" rake.

I mean don't get me wrong it looks perfect empty but i prolly jumped the gun ordering the kit too early and should have waited till everything settled out before figuring out **** end block solution, i am not doing air bags on this truck, don't wanna lose articulation and empty ride and i have no overloads etc. So i'm going up another inch in the back to fix things as i still have some fulltime weight going in bed plus to sit about where it is when hitched up where most of it's mile will be hitched up (pretty light trailer).

Background, base f250 cclb 4x4 6.8/7.3 with zero suspension packages, xl trim, and only upfitters which forced the larger alternator for front weight add(if any), so as lightweight a cclb as you could build, and 30-32 lbs of sway bar removed up front also...bilstein 5100's all the way around, started with 2" rake before lift at 1600 kms, after lift it was 1 3/4" rake, and now after 3400 kms post lift it's ~1" rake.

Is this rear spring set a thing? Just fyi for others, 5" rear block on the way.

 

We have 20K on our XL CC/SB F-250. When we first got it, the steering was waaaay too squirrley... and I think that was a product of the taut rear springs. The rear has since settled down a little, enough, anyway, to take the odd steering geometry down a notch. Between that, and tire pressure changes... anyway.

 

yeah, i'm nerdy, more posting the crap i learn in this new adventure truck setup to help others as nerdy when they go looking for info, once it's all done and that's very soon now i'll hardly be around, maybe help their planning and save them from doing things twice, like i'm doing now lol...pretty sure i did read in my research to give springs on new truck a few minutes to settle out, i was just too eager to get it in the air and ordered on best guess i could make, i figured being within 1/2" on going up at both ends would be fine but in this base f250 case the **** seemed to settle down and the front did not, or if it did not nearly as much as the rear did...
