I would think you'd have to change springs as well, to give the F250 carrying capacity.

Is this a 2wd or 4x4? So you would like to make your 1/2 ton use 8 lug wheels? As stated, this will not increase the load capacity...

It is a 4 wheel drive 1/2 ton and I want to make it a 4 wheel drive 3/4 ton and keep the 1/2 ton front end that I have.
