Re: Rear Springs???

You are right, you will gain no height. What it will do is make it a greater distance until you bottom out on the bump stop if you hit a large enough bump because that year bump stop is not as thick. I cut the bump stops on my 2000 X to keep it from hitting them on every little bump. I am now starting to look for some V code springs for the front because my stockers are crap.

I also have a question for all of you?? I thought most people were upgrading their front springs to V code as in Victor or X codes which are the more heavy duty ones they put on for snow plows. The typing I am seeing is showing U codes as in Ugly...is this right??...or do you all mean V codes as in Victor?? Please advise for I am beginning to search for some new front springs from some local lift shops.

Re: Rear Springs???

Correct, the bumpstop will give you more suspension travel.

As for U and V, eys, it's U and V. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] U code will give you about 1.25" and V closer to 1.5". Most common on F250 PSD is V code. Some people that tow or haul some weight, find that V code while leveling, will leave the Ex. "qppearing" to be nose high wiht a little weight on the rear, thus they install air bags (or new rear springs or blocks to keep a stock rake all the time) U code will generally keep enough rake that towing, hauling you'll drop the rear to look level. When truly "level" the Ex. appears nose high. Just the lines I guess. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]
