front coil spring question?
My truck (an 05 F250 PSD model) has the 6000 pound coil spring set from the factory on it...from what I understand...a truck that has the plow package installed has the 6600 pound coil spring set,.. If I were to purchase this 6600 pound rate coil springs and install them, would it require a re-alignment of the front end?...and if I'm wrong about these numbers, please correct me with the right info, thanks !

Yes ,it would require a alignment.any time you mess with the physical demensions or a front suspension part it needs to be realigned.also after the new springs settle in ,it could/may need another one too.

Here's one example. Firestone's got a good rep with the guys on FTE.
