    Front spring sag on leaf springs (4x4)

    Had my springs re-arched without an add-a-leaf and I have to say that it rides quite a bit nicer. The stance is correct and it looks good. I think I was just about on the bumpstops and the front end had little travel. It may sag down in a couple of years, but the add-a-leaf kit looked like it would cut into the oem springs and it would stiffen the ride (it was not arched the same). The add-a-leaf is the same for the f-250 or f-350. remember i have the TTB IFS with the inverted leaf pack on the front. Got some new rubber bushings in the leafs too, and If you get/have a previous generation diesel, (it will be sagging) I would recommend a re-arch without the extra leaf.

    Re: Front spring sag on leaf springs (4x4)

    Ya, I have the same problem with mine . I am going to get a Superlift 4" kit . I have checked out quite a few kits and that one seems to be the best bang for the buck, with steering arm and shocks ect. I spoke to several folks about the stock spring re-arc but was convinced by them that the material in the Ford springs was weak. So not wanting to have to do it twice I'll get the new springs.Besides the wife frowns on spending money like that especially twice...Oh well that my next project in a couple of months...Denis

    I did the superlift add a leaf about a year ago and it seems to be holding up fine I sure wish I could do a 4" lift but the better half can hardly get in it now

    If your looking for a good addaleaf,try Mac'Springs.They have a reverse arch ,tapered leaf that works great for these application.
