Those springs need to go ASAP. Especially the front ones. Just get some OEM replacements all the way around and will make a big difference. Probably needs a Blue Top steering box and all new tie-rods to get the steering back on point. If it needs ball joints do those too.

Your truck riding harsh is mostly bc if the leaf springs, they seem to be really flat instead of arched lien they should be, also possibly replacing those with a smaller leaf pack and adding a block underneath to have a 6” lift line you currently have will improve your ride a lot, they do sell 6” lifted leaf springs, I had the same truck and I loved the way it ride with the 6” leaf springs

@johnkenley4687 Жыл бұрын

Looks like you got a lot of undercarriage work and restoration to do. Those leafs are in bad shape both with surface rust and the fact they are no longer conformed to the proper geometry. The entirety of the front end steering linkage likely also needs replacement with either new OEM parts, or, since its on a lift and everything, beefed up aftermarket components, as you WILL end up getting death wobble with how much wear and tear there is up there. In regards to the leaf springs, you actually have two options, you can either get new ones, OR you can find a coil sprong conversion kit that will GREATLY improve the ride, i also know there are axle swaps out there so that you can throw the wheel spacers out entirely and be done with the possible dangers they impose.

@stewartgriffin3192 Жыл бұрын

I agree those front leaf's look bad and probably need replaced. They are defiantly going to ride like a hay wagon. If you are looking into options, NEVER use lift blocks on the front end. The lateral force at play is not the same as the rear. There is a reason no company offers "front lift blocks". I am also surprised that no one has mentioned the stacked lift blocks in the back. That's also generally a no go. The blocks with the ears on the inside are Ford factory. Looks like one of the owners just added another 3 inch block. Normally you don't want to do that. Especially with a truck that sees a trailer. Again, imagine lateral load. The 2 blocks have the most leverage between them, instead of the axle to leaf. I'm honestly kind of surprised they weren't at least welded together lol. Nice build though.
