Need Suspension Help!!!
 
Ok we all know the first gen 4x4 1 ton's are rough but I got a 91.5 4x4 single wheel 350 and I want no wait I mean I NEED softer springs! Right now I'm runnin new monroe shocks and 20 inch wheels with 35 inch nitto's that hold 60 pounds of air but i'm runnin 30 pounds for a lil softer ride and there are 8 leafs in the rear springs and 6 in the front. It's so rough that every time me and my girlfriend drive around in it her boobs pop out. Yes it is a good thing but she gets mad and we cant have that lol so any idea's on how to get better ride? New leaf's? Maybe leaf's from a 150? or 250? :argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh:

what???? unless 1st gen springs are really weak you do not have a one ton. if i remember correctly without goin outside my rears have four (maybe five) and my fronts i know have 3

flyingcrodeo 03-22-2011 10:28 PM

Yeah well that's what's back there it's a Single Wheel Power Ram 350 lol

I'm thinkin whoever had it before me and before i rebuilt it must of took the overload springs off and threw them in with all the other springs i think ive heard of people doin that before. I have an 89 dually 350 with 5 springs and 2 overload springs on top of the reg 5 and that truck hasn't been messed with and i know that for a fact so that's maybe what they did idk im not a suspension guy:humm:

i'm lookin at a 90 with a regular spring pack of 7 and an overload pack of 5. wow thats rediculous. theres no way there should be that many. i'll walk out to mine right now and check but with that 1990 350 theres 7 so you might have an add a leaf maybe?

I have a kelderman air ride system that the rear shackles are replaced by air bags cushy ride when you want it , up the airbag press and haul a load :choochoo:

flyingcrodeo 03-22-2011 10:37 PM

The air bag is what i want to do but little out of budget i was just thinkin bout findin some diff springs i think i might of found some from skyjacker

how many are on a 250 normally? could i order springs for a 250 and just throw them on? will they fit?

prison 03-22-2011 10:40 PM

they should fit. my ford only has 5 per side in back and my bottom spring is super thick and looks like it was added. i'd go with the bags befor the 250 springs. or just take some out of yours if you can

flyingcrodeo 03-22-2011 10:44 PM

I might just try takin some out tomarrow and see how that goes
