Just a real quick question, how many leaves are in the rear leaf spring set on a 2004 f-250. I have the tow package, and camper package. I currently have six, one small flat one, four grouped togather and one overload. I have a 4 inch procomp lift that the dealer had installed new and it has two, 21/2 inch blocks, but I think they forgot to put the add a leaf in. Thanks

 

The stock springs on my '04 dually have 6. 4 springs in the main spring pack, 1 overload spring on the bottom, and 1 auxiliary spring on the top.

 

Are you saying that the rear axle has a total of four blocks? If so take it back and have them swap them out for a 4". Not a good idea to stack blocks. In fact I think it's illeagle.

As far as the add-a-leaf, sometimes they will remove one factory leaf to put in the new leaf. This keeps them from installing a new center bolt (probably should be replaced anyhow) or they might do this because the u bolts won't reach with the added thickness.

 

Yeah, they did stack two 2 1/2 inch blocks. The kit was supposed to be the 4" kit but it has a little sag in the rear. They did a very **** poor job in my opinion. They didn't even level the drive shaft, I have to completly redo the work in the rear. i will probably put in a "add a leaf" and traction bars and level the drive shaft. I am also looking for a 5" block to replace the two 2 1/2 " blocks.

 

Just out of curiosity, who did the work? If your info is correct you're only about 25 miles away from El Cajon, where there are arguably some of the best 4x4 shops on the planet.

 

Take it back to the dealer, get your money back.

 

Big Orn, not an option

the dealership had Preston's in La Mesa do the lift. I will just fix it myself, hell the $40,000 in tools and equiptment in my garage needs to pay for itself sometime. I was just looking at my truck the other day and I really don't like the level look. Pictures are in my gallery.

 

OIC....

Well, in my opinion - it looks great like that. But that's just me. Need to get those stacked blocks out, though, I reckon and shim the driveshaft. If you have $40K of tools, then by all means, put them suckers to work!!!

 

I think your truck looks AWSOME!...Almost as good as MINE! LoL

thanks for all the compliments, It defiantly make me feel better. My only problem is when I tow, it really sags in the back. I am going to raise up the rear about 1 inch or so, so that when I tow it is level. I was looking into air bags, and that may still be an option, just not sure yet. first things first though I do have to get a set of traction bars because of the blocks in the rear.

 

I've never heard anything bad about Preston's Tire and Wheel. Unfortunately, Procomp and a couple of other manufacturers only include a small block in there kit that's meant to be stacked with the stock block to give you the desired lift in the rear. It's my belief that over time some lift manufacturers have realized that most of their kits will be put on vehicles that will never go off-road so they've designed kits that are less sturdy to save money and increase profits.

Truck does look good!
