    so I actually switched up my order and went with some bigger springs, not lift springs but theyre rated the same as the 7700 f150 springs so I'll post some pics when they get here. The reasoning for this is that whenever I tow a trailer the tires come close to grinding on the flares so I figure the springs should help some with that albeit will have a slightly rougher ride.

    Yeah I'd rather deal with a rougher ride then scrape the tires. Besides its not like lifted trucks ride like cadillacs. lol :cheers:

    Yea exactly, but not having to worry about the tires rubbing is so worth it. Ill probably be haulin a 5000 pound trailer to Alaska so I wanted to make sure it'll be all good and had to replace the one spring anyways

    Thanks man, I wanna say the stock screw springs are rated at between ~1500-1900 lbs a piece ( lots of varying info out there but I believe stock 3/1 leaves were rated at closer to 1600. Anyways these new springs are rated at 2200lbs and are a 4/1 spring

    New springs are here, had a company in Kansas City make me some. These things are stout as hell, 2200 capacity each 4/1 leaf pack. Honestly though it looks like alot of arch vs the stock ones so ill have to see how much it raises my truck up and adjust from there
