"A" Code rear springs

[CHPMustang]

I know the B's have around 700-750 lb higher capacity and possible to get a little more clearance over the A's.

That is the reason for wanting the stiffer springs for mine. I am planning on towing a 26+ ft boat, with the weight it will be around 10K loaded! That is the reason for my spring work.

Welp, finally got 'r done. Went with the rough country 2" add-a-leaf and lost the rear block and put the f250 overload seperator block in it's place(tapered 1")

The front went up almost 3" and the rear about 3.5".

No more need for the traction bars, and the "rear-steer" is a thing of the past. I wish I could have gotten to it sooner. This was by far the best mod to date.

Can you snap some photos to show off? I'm interested in the front add-a-leafs or leveling kit,where'd you pick up your rough country's at?

Sure, give me a few days though.

The add-a-leafs were in the rear only. Plain old V codes in the front for the 2"s.
Got them locally at a 4wd shop.

Oh okay you add a leafed the rear axle,I gotchya

The heavy weight of the tank front bumper has rested my front V codes 1"-1.5" which is pretty close to how the Excursion was with the D codes so a leveling kit is in the plans

Or if you can manage to scratch up a pait of X codes.

You were looking at loosing the 4" block out back, did you ever get to it?

 

[CHPMustang]

In my opinion I think the X codes although would accomplish the desired height and front axle capacity but might be overkill for us

We'll be keeping the F350 blocks till the fundage for A codes come abouts but unsure if they'll be compatible with the installation of Radius Rods.

 

[Fords4Me]

Bottom leaf will not allow the rods.

Don't you have a lot of bumper? Plow packs seem like the ticket.

Thanks for the R-rod confirmation

I'd like to test drive an Excursion with the X codes to see if they'd fit the wife and I's ride quality bill
