Not to bring back a dead thread... But...

Anyone know how much 5200 lb springs lower vs 6000?

Need to drop about an inch out of my 6.7

I thought Aaron had 4400 lb springs? That's what I had and we had the same part # because he gave it to me.

I bet they end up settling to about a full inch. My 4400lb springs settled to about 2" lower than stock and ended up with the factory rake with the rear block removed. 4800lb probably settle to about 1.5" total.

4800 might be too soft for me. Let me see how the truck looks with my trailer loaded with a crewcab long bed on it and I'll decide from there

This is how my truck sat with the 4400 lb springs and no rear block.

Do you remove any rear springs? or just the block? I think im gonna change the coils I have in now to a 4400 and remove a spring.

I didn't remove any rear springs. My current setup is no rear block and 4800 lb coils. It sits level. That setup you quote sits pretty nose down.

Here are a couple photo's of 4800 lb springs and no rear block. This is right after install. I think they will settle a little bit more. They dropped right around 1.5" compared to the factory springs.

looks like a slightly lower f250. Looks great, still looks raked to the rear in those pictures. If it settles some more it should be just perfectly level.

Definitely going with the 4800 spring over the 4400.
