Hey guys, i have a 99 F150 that i use for landscaping, and someone told me that you can increase the payload by adding leaf springs. Does this sound right, also i was wondering wherei could get this done near detroit, and how much it would cost.
Thanks in advance.

yes, try a trailer place! look them up and call or a 4x4 place!

 

I have some overload springs that were on a 97 F150 if you want them, that are like these , they want $195, I'll sell them for $100

They need 1 clamp, I've seen the clamps at AutoZone though

Liskeys Auto in Lansing, Russell does AWESOME work. He's my instructor for my chassis & suspension class and we added a leaf he had cut to a 97 F-150 4x4.


If you DO add a leaf, it WILL raise the rear 1" or so, so be prepared to lift the front unless you want it goofy lookin. If you dont want to raise the front as well, I say add airbags in the back to help with the load
