I would change out the front pucks with f250 springs. I'm setting up my truck for mobile welding, so that means 500lb+ generator welder, oxyacetylene torches, tools, ect. What do you guys think?

Why not helper springs? Are you looking to lift or just be able to haul more? I got a pair of helper springs with 1000lbs load leveling capacity for 50$ from Advanced Auto.

Agree with helpers. That lift kit wont help with hauling more weight.

Klinux13

^Both. I want about a 2" lift and the ability to carry more weigh in the back.

i think that kit would probably be useless on your truck. could maybe cut down a leaf spring and add one to each side. all my trucks have an extra main leaf spring that was cut down to about the same size as the leaf below them. it is a bit redneck but is usually cheap and works good.

I agree, because Redneck. Cut the eyes off another main leaf then stack the old leafs under it. My neighbour was in the mobile welding biz, he mounted the welder sideways at the back of the cab, above the top of the bed and carried the torch bottles on the passenger side behind the welder.

Will that ad any lift?

fordtrucknut

are you 4x4? if you are, you can just get used set of f250/350 springs, try to find a set off a diesel for the maximum weight capacity.

Scraptor

Just an eyeball estimate , about 1 1/2 or 2"

Just do f250 rear leaf packs and call it done. My f250 mobile welding rig works excellent and I can get into the deep snow/mud job sites that the dually trucks have to get drug in too with a cat! Lol
My torch bottles are under the welder.
