It has 110# more payload and is a 502a with nearly every option.

Looks like I will go with a 1500# set of those springs, sounds like just the trick needed to correct this one last nasty issue with it.
if you were referring to my 14, it may be the only one built in 14 model year. 501a heavy duty. yes a 7 lug, 8200 gvw with 2200+ payload monster. we realized i may never return to heavy pallet running, and i wanted to off road more. that is why the wife approved of the upgrade to a raptor. i can still use it as a work truck later. just not anything over 1100 lbs lol. maybe an uber black whine the kids are at school. still 3 years to decide though lol

Here is the site you want to go to..and check out. Don't be afraid to ask quesitons because they will direct you the right way. What surprised me is the engineer told me the 1000lb one were all I needed. He didn't even try to upsell me. lol

www.supersprings.com

I paid $275 for the pair Canadian...and $90 for import and taxes. Worth the money to me!

Thanks, I'm looking to reduce the body roll feeling on my truck and I would like to give these a try.

Ok....here is a link to my youtube channel that I've made an amatuer attempt at a video for the my Sumo Spring demo. The video I made is much more clear, but youtube does this thing of downgrading it for space I guess. LOL

Well I am convinced enough that I bought a set of 1500 springs. Autoanything has them on sale for $225.36 shipped. Same price on both models. I should have them by this weekend and get them installed if they do.

Can I ask why they told you to get the 1,000 lb springs vs 1,500? Just curious what you told them about you truck and why they recommended the lighter set.
