Default F250 Spring Squat

After all this recent talk of ppl swapping out leaf springs to 250 or 350's I figured Id show you a few pics of the awesome reasons to do this swap.

Just towed my camper for the first time after putting the springs in. Its so much easier to tow now because theres hardly any sway to it at all and it doesnt squat. It may have sank 1" after I put the camper on it.

Ive never taken my camper across the scale before but its a fairly heavy dual axle old school unit.

Im very satisfied.

Went with 5 leaf from a 250. Never figured Id tow anything heavy enough to need the 6 pack.

Nice, I hate when u see a big lifted truck with springs so soft the front end is 6 inches higher then the back. So I could run f250 coils and leafs and that would give me how much lift? Is it any different then doing like a2 inch lift spring and an add a leaf? How much lift overall do u have?
