[OIIIIIIIO]

Hi,

I've got some broken springs in the rear of my 1996 F250 crew cab short box...

What are my replacement options? I will be towing my Jeep on a 18' trailer with this truck...

I would rather go with new rather than finding some at a junk yard or something...

Thanks!
Patrick

Go ahead and use superduty springs with the rsk lift. And a sas as well.

 

[OIIIIIIIO]

will SD springs require any modifications at all? or are they "bolt in" ready?

sorry i'm a newb...
rsk lift?

sas?

Thanks!
Patrick

The 99-07 SD rears will require you to re-use the OBS shackle. You will need to drill the hole larger in the front spring hanger and the shackle, since SD springs use a slightly larger diameter bolt. The SD spring will give you a smoother ride.

Sas is a solid axle swap, ie using a Dana 60 in front instead of the ttb Dana 50. Twin traction beam.

We developed the RS kit SD spring swap..plus D60 swap any year to '04..so if you need info PM me.

I found some rear super duty B coded springs in a junk yard for $100. They came off of a 2004 F350 that had 30,000 miles. If you put in the time and call around you can find some good springs for a reasonable price. The springs I found had the over load on the top and the bottom and I got all the required hardware with it - and yes the ride is much better, I can tell a big difference. I would say it is worth the effort to find SD springs for the rear.

If you still have the TTb stock F250 front end - I believe you may have an elevation issue between the rear and front. The SD rear springs bring you up 1"-2" and with your front staying at stock level you have a larger than stock rake. Just something to think about.
