leaf springs(or lack of)
 
Why don't the super duty have a leaf spring pack any more?? 3 springs and an overload?? I have 5 in my 99 3/4 ton. Unless the new ones are stiffer or something I dont know. What's opinions on them??

Some of the 3/4 tons do not have the over load spring pending the package you order. I am unsure, but I thought there were 4 springs on the F350, but I might be wrong. I think it has to do with the ride and flex they want to provide.

If you are looking, look up to the F350 for the extra ride height in the back. The F250's sit almost level unloaded and can look overloaded with a slight load in the back.

If you ride in the fords they give a pretty good ride, especially when compared to the chevy's that give 2" of travel and then you hit a brick wall.

They will sag on you with a lot of weight on the back, but they still ride good and give great stability.

I would not be afraid of them.

I will see. I ordered a one ton with the snow plow package and the camper package salesman told me that those packages will give me the better spring package. I can put airbags on it if I want also. I tow around 12000lbs every weekend and don't want my bumper dragging on the ground. My truck sits level with that weight on it now it doesn't sag at all. Hope the new one will do the same.

The rear end setups are almost identical in the F350 and F250s. The 350s have a 2'' larger block compared to the 250 (SRWs). As far as I know, they are the same. I'm not sure however about the snow plow package if it changes.
