Springs

[rsjohnsn]

Hi all, I have a question about springs. Are there any difference in 350 and 450 springs for the rear? I need to replace mine and I am thinking of installing the 450's if they will fit the mounting points. Are there any significant difference in the weight carrying capabilities?

Thanks
Scott

Weight I'm certain there's a significant difference there. They might be a bit longer, I'd think they might be a bit wider too. You might be further ahead to go to a spring shop, and have them make you a set with an extra leaf or two...

or go with some air bags...they do work really well

I already have airbags but I have to keep them aired up to around 20lbs to keep it setting level empty. My dads '02 Dually has 2 springs up front and I have 3. We both have the same amount in the rear so he has the front rake and mine sets a little nose high. I don't want to give up the height I have, I just want to get the rear even or higher than the front. The bags work good but the ride is to rough.
