Hey fellas. My 99's rear springs are starting to weaken. They used to sit flat with about whatever I would on the traile but now days it seems it is always sitting down in the rear. This truck gets a workout every day with a trailer on it.

I noticed the truck looks like it never had overloads on it. My question is should i add overloads or upgrade to either new stock springs or new f-350 springs

 

Why not install a set of air bags? I have a set of AirLift with their smart valve (this is the third truck I have used them on) and they are real nice. Add weight and the on-board compressor adds air, remove the weight and the smart valve blows off the extra air. I think mine was around $475 of everything. Look here for ideas: www.truckspring.com

 

I had thought about that, I had them on an explorer years ag and they worked good.


What is this smart valve? is it pricy?

Sounds like it works without input?

Jeff, the smart valve is an electric switch that turns on the air compressor to add air when more weight is added to the truck. I also allows the air to be removed whenever you remove weight from your truck. Its really the best setup (IMO) you could have. I think I paid $475 for the bags, on-board compressor, and valve.

Not to spendy and that sounds like the way to go...
