I swapped out the front F-250 leafs (add-a-leaf installed in them) for a set of F-350 front leafs today. Holy crap the truck rides so much better. Now the rear is what is stiff on the ride. I need to get the front swap bar frame brackets and install the front sway bar.
The fender height with the F-250 springs and add-a-leafs was 39.5".
F-250 with add-a-leafs compared to the F-350 springs.
F-350 springs, F-250 springs, and the add-a-leaf for comparison.
F-250 leafs compared to the F-350 leafs. The F-250 leafs are considerably thicker than the F-350 leafs.
Both shackle bushings looked like this. All the spring and shackle bushings got replaced with poly bushings.

All back together.
The final ride height with the F-350 springs installed is 39" to the fender. That gives me right at 1" lower than the rear with the 2" F-250 rear blocks installed. I can't decide if I want to install the 4" F-350 blocks and have right at 3" rake.
