04 F250 FTX reg cab long bed. Buddy of mine had rear spring packs from a 04 F350 dually laying around the shop and i was looking for just a little more lift in the rear, just to get rid of the sag in the rear. Well after a half of day changing them out and driving it a one or two noticed that it does not sit level. And after driving it about two weeks, making one trip from PA to MD about 250 miles one way, i figure it would level itself out but it hasn't. Left front is down 1/4 inch and left rear 3/8 inch. and now after today i noticed a noise in the front end. Can someone out there plz help me and steer me in the right directions, i'm going crazy!!!!!!!

 

Hmm, seems like this aint the right forum for this type of problem. Theres a Suspension forum on the main page. Thats okay tho, I will give you my best shot. It seems as tho thats sort of what you have to expect, those leaf springs are for a dually f350, there going to do that, they are not designed for a f250. The best i can suggest is either removing them and getting the proper lift your looking for, or try pulling a leaf or two out. Hows it riding despite all that? I cant imagine it rides to smooth any more. also that noise might be caused from all the down slope pressure now on the front end with the back end up so high now. I would take those out man, its going to cause some damage, and I cant imagine it could be to safe having it that high and unloaded, it could cause a roll over. Just my .02 cents, I am sure the other guys will have some good answers for u as well.

 

Thanks FordF350Baby for the advise. i know that it got posted in the wrong thread, my fault but I left it here and posted again in another area as well. By putting the f350 spring packs in the rear it only took the sag out of the rear, maybe an inch it went up, but you could still be correct about the pressure from the rear being higher causing problems in the front. Thanks again

 

Okay, you getting any other help in the other forums on this?

 

no one else has helped me yet. i was going to post the same in another area of the forum

 

Wow, thats surprising, these guys usually are right on there stuff. Sometimes they get a little distracted with threads longer than a few sentences. I hope you find a good solid answer.

 

thanks, i hope so too.
