1 ton o4 3/4 ton springs
My needs for this truck have changed, I would like to lower it back to original and convert to one ton running gear so I can haul my camper and tow my wheeling rig......Im sick of borrowing the old mans F250...at any rate, what do we all recommend for original height one ton or 3/4 ton springs? I guess an inch or so of lift wouldnt bother me....
I do have a corp 14 bolt rear and a 8 lug dana 44 all lined up. (yes I know ill have to move the perches on the 14, been there done that) Boyd Johnson

Recently Completed - 700r4/NP208 conversion and vortec heads. Future Goals - Vortec Injection, lowering back to original height, and one ton running gear so's I can haul all my crap. Lifted truck look cool but they are useless for anything but 'wheeling |

If you have rear coils, then you'll only be able to do 3/4 ton springs back there since no one tons came with coils.
