Upgrading rear leaf springs?

[TheGoatman]

I’ll update my thread-
My topper came in finally after 12 weeks. I replaced my factory block with a 2” block giving me +.75”. Adding the topper and my tools made it squat .75” so it’s a wash but that’s what I was after. I added HD RAS and on the lowest setting it gave me +5/8”. Sits perfect, handles better with the ras, and I can adjust it higher if need be. I swapped out my fox 2.0 coilovers for Bilstein 6112 today. I’ll save that review until I install the rears tomorrow but my initial impression is much better than fox. My God what a money pit these trucks are! I should’ve just stuck with another f250!

In for your review. About to pull the trigger on fronts.

My 2022 F-150 has a payload rating of 1800 lbs with its max tow package, so adding a 200 lb camper shell made no discernible difference in bed height. With my previous trucks I added SuperSprings to gain more real payload capacity.

Shock absorbers are more correctly called shock dampeners as all they do is dampen the movement of the springs. Too little load support and the shocks get a workout and their life is going to be shorter.

Overall I prefer the Rancho adjustable shocks as I can tune the resistance for the front wheels separate from the rear wheels (where 80% of the load is supported).
