I use moog CC844, these are for F250 and will level your truck.
You can see the diference.

Theyre stiffer and make your ride rougher

Default On this topic....

I am going to do either springs or spacers and am having a hard time deciding which to do. Ride height is 36.5 rear and 33.5 front. If the factory fronts come 2 inches lower (4x4) then my front springs have sagged an extra inch since she rolled off the floor. If I put new F250 springs in there wont it wind up raising it 3 inches instead of the 2 most folks are getting? Spacers would give me whatever they are labeled as (1,1.5,2 etc..). Then we gotta talk alignment.... If 250 springs give me 3 inches wont I have trouble getting the truck aligned even with adjustable camber bushings? Maybe a set of used 250 springs would be more what I am looking for. Should give 2 inches of lift and I'd still be able to get her aligned. What do you guys think?

They also increase front roll stiffness, so the truck feels better in corners.
