Thinking about lifting my truck 1 inch up front. F250 4x4.

I can put around 3000 on the pin and the sag is ok. The truck doesnt have upper camper package overloads.

Think these things can get rid of 3/4-1 inch or more of sag if I lift my truck? I like that I can set and unset these so they wont affect normal driving.

Its currently on heavy service front springs which i measure about 1/2 inch over stock 5200 diesel springs. I am gonna put some Rough Country 1.5 inch level springs in (if I can get past the silver sparkly color on them).


I dont plan to have anymore than what I stated on the pin. Around rear axle capacity anyway. So I would like to avoid airbags etc.

 

Ttt anyone use these?

 

There are some users on this forum. I use them on my truck with camper pkg. I just don't know the answer to your question. I would think so, but not sure.

 

i just put torklift upper and lower overloads on my 450.. it helped sag a good amount. that is 4k lbs lance 995

before and after pics


uppers easy install
lowers brutal install (drilling lowers and getting bolts in.. very painful)

both overloads (upper and lower) combined took out about 2" sag... camper is loaded with gear and has a cannon 36" extension with steel dirtbike rack off the back

so far it drives really good.. haven't been offroad yet (lockdown........arg)

 

Ok so they do work. I can’t use the uppers as I dont have that spring.

 

if your lower overload springs are pre-drilled it is way easier to install them

 

Great color combination. This is a 7.3 F350 (wanted the gas motor or else would have considered a 450) with 19.5s, Torklift upper stableloads and Timbren HDs....no sag. Big Wig rear sway bar. This pic is with a full fresh water tank. My ‘20 didn’t have the bump-stop tang on the spring lift-block, so Timbren’s 1” or 1/2” spacers needed to be added. Trying to avoid airbags.

I had the Hellwig extra add-on overload leafs....no sag. Wasn’t so keen on the sustained extra load bearing down on the bolts that hold the overload bumpers to the frame, so trying the Timbrens. I may reinstall the Hellwig overloads and also stiffer rear shocks.

 

good looking setup! thanks for the info

 

Not sure exactly how much sag just the lowers eliminate as I am also using the uppers, but my guess would be around 2" or so.

 

2 inches seems like a lot. I would be happy with 1 inch.

 

I looked at the Stableloads, but didn’t like the way they loaded the ends of the springs. Instead, I bought some plastic shims and thin rubber sheeting from Amazon, and made some shim packs. They are double wide and thick. Fits perfect between the overload and springs. I don’t notice them in normal driving. With the camper it sags 1 -1 1/2”. Cost about $15 to make.

 

Same principal, lot cheaper and thorough.

This truck is so infrequently loaded to max like that I like being able to switch it on and off.
