A little under two years ago when I got my truck the rear springs were sagging a bit, so I installed a Long ADD-A-Leaf, this raised it back up to where it should have been, It was pretty stiff to boot ,loved it.
Problem now is that now they are very bouncy , almost as if the add-a-leaf has given out, I knew it would eventually , so my question is : should I get a set of rear springs for a F-250 or even a f-350, my springs are 3inches wide (4X4), or a air bag system?
I am leaning towards the new springs, I have looked all over the internet at different setups and there are many, I need something that can handle some weight , my truck is loaded down on a daily basis ( materials , ladders, etc).Pulls Camper in the summer (6000 lbs.)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I did the JCW 2k springs and they worked perfect for me on my old 1991 f150 4X4.

Looks pretty good, would the 2400lbs be better?

Probabaly would be a better for you going a bit higher. If you find out it is too stiff, springs are cheap enough to change!

Make sure the shackles were not broken very commen

 

If you still have the same ride height, chances are that your shocks may have worn out. Isnt that what stops the bouncing around

 

I'd check shocks too first

 

i got rear springs from broncograveyard and they gave my back quite a hike. nice ford part for cheap

 

Shocks are pretty new, the springs sag a little under weight. When I put the add-a-leaf in you press the truck down a little but now it goes down fairly easy so I am sure it is the springs, .
Will the new springs lift it any? I don't want to much rake back there but I want a stiffer ride. Appreciate the comments so far keep em coming.

I have a good question. My truck is in my sig. Now being the heaviest 3/4 made in 89 I think my truck should sit better with my trailer and Camaro. I do know it did at one time pull a 5th wheel so this is no suprise.
My question is how new of springs can be pulled to fit the body style. I know up to 96, but will springs off a newer truck fit?
I just don't want to spend the money and end up with more wore out springs.
