Need a spring expert.

Hey all,

Got the F250 sag blues. My truck is leaning to the drivers side big time. Almost an inch in the front. Im about to put my 7.5 foot meyer plow from my old truck on it and I am worried about thrashing the four new ball joints I just installed. Has anyone have any experience with their trucks leaning like this? And can anyone recomend a set of srings? Ive been told to go with X code.

Thanks!

B

With my X-codes my front wheel well measures 40" from the ground with 285x75x16 tires ( 32 1/2 diameter ) You can take that measurment to your truck and estimate where yours would sit with X-codes. My rear wheel well sits at 41" with the F-350 rear blocks which are 3 1/2" + and I sit pretty level, but I'm not sure if a truck rear wheel well is the same as an Excursion though . X-code front spring part # 2C3Z-5310-AF and I do NOT have any lean at all after 6 yrs of having these springs on. But I am no expert this is just my experiance.

Thanks for that info!

My truck measures:

Passenger Front: 39"
Driver Front: 38"

Passenger Rear: 41"
Driver Rear: 40 7/8"

Tires: 265/75/16 Cooper Discoverer STT's

This leads me to believe that the driver front spring is hosed. My only worry is that the X code spring will lift the truck higher in the front than the rear...

Again is there anyone who has experieced this spring sag??

The X codes will lift 2" over stock SD V codes, you should also get a adj track bar and longer shocks. Lift will shift the axle 1/2-3/4" per 2"
