[QUOTE="TxFireman1972, post: 60736, member: 448"] About a year ago I did the 08+ leaf spring conversion on my truck, with great results. For those of you that have questions about that, here is the install thread from when I did it: [url]http://www.powerstroke.org/forum/suspension-steering/154716-finally-doing-my-08-leaf-spring-conversion.html[/url] I've been reading some about the improved ride quality of the 2011 leaf springs. Here is an article I found about the 2011's: [url]http://special-reports.pickuptrucks.com/2009/09/first-look-2011-ford-fseries-super-duty.html[/url] In the article it sais: [COLOR="Blue"][B]The suspension has been tuned up, too. The shocks have new internal valve settings and the spring rates have been adjusted for better ride comfort. In 2008, Ford introduced its 3-plus-1 spring pack for both the diesel and gas trucks but the 2011 model SD pickups with diesel engines are setup with a new 2-plus-1 kit. Brewer said the 2-plus-1 setup reduces some of the spring binding from friction that drivers felt as a secondary impact after hitting road bumps. It also saves weight for improved fuel economy. [/B][/COLOR] I've been looking for a set, and finally came across a deal on a set to try out. Found a 2011 F250 with very low miles, that had a dash fire. [ATTACH=full]65109[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]65110[/ATTACH] Got them in today. There is definitely a weight difference. The 2011's have 3 leafs where the 2008's I have are 4-leafs each. Here are a couple of pics of the 2011 springs after UPS dropped them off today: [ATTACH=full]65111[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]65112[/ATTACH] Will probably be the weekend before I get them switched out, but I'll update when I do.
