Rear Springs

[CSXPAID]

in the back on my truck I have f code springs can anybody tell me the wieght of these springs?

I drive my truck unloaded most of the time, and when I do tow it is a 18 ft. open car trailer with a 4,000 lb truck, anyway these thing is real stiff and I was wondering if I could covert the springs to f-250 or 350 srw springs with a lower sring rate to achieve a smoother ride?

Thanks,

How many leaves do you have? The vin sticker should tell the rear spring rating. I have a 250 and SRW 350 I can check today. They look alike other than the 350 has an overload spring and the 250 doesn't. I'll see what the weight is, though.

pipelayerjdh- there are 5 leafs with the overload but I have to ditch the overload any way when the lowering kit goes on!!!

The 250 has 4 leaves and rear is rated at 6084 lbs. My 350 that used to be SRW has 4 leaves plus an overload and is also rated at 6084. That probably doesn't help anything does it?

How low are you going and what are you using on the front?

3" in the front with I beams and 5" in the rear with hangers and shackles and a leaf removed
