1 ton springs?
Does anyone know if any rear 1 ton springs would fit in a 77 F250 lowboy? I put some add a leafs in the front so stand up to the extra weight of the snowblade but now the front of the truck sits higher then the back, especially with a water tank in the back. There is the stock single add a leafs in the back so I dont think I can put another one in if theres one there already? So I was thinking maybe 1 ton springs would be better or is there even any that would fit? Or do I need new rear springs altogether? Or any other suggestions?
Thanks

I'd add a set of overload springs - a 2d set that won't change the ride (stiffer) but will take the extra weight when the load sets down on them. I've seen several trucks with these. 1 T springs will work fine but the truck will ride stiff without a load.

the F-350 springs are the same as the hi-boy springs, yes you still need the blocks. The part # on the spring is 43 721 ME, 10 Leaf, I think I paid 150.00 each side out the door.
