3/4 ton quesions
I want to buy a 73-87 3/4 ton longbed. I want to lift it 6 in and put 35's on it. But if I lift it with new springs wont the lift spring be weaker? Or sould I buy 4 in lift springs and put add-a-leafs in them? I dont care about the ride. I actually like the ride of my uncles f-250 better then any other vehicle I have been in.

Most of the lift manufacturers springs have over load springs in the with the new spring pack. You should have no problem with new spring, just don't buy the soft ride or ez ride springs, get the heavy duty springs.
