My truck has 7 up front on both sides. On the back it's got 7 on both sides + 4(overloads???) That makes for a real rough ride. I kinda think it was meant to be a 350 but it's badged a 250?.

Hmmm, very interesting indeed. I've got 6 up front and 6 + 1 overload in the rear, again, all look factory. I've also got Firestone aux airbags in the rear installed by a PO.

JMT I did not know that the factory put that many overloads on the back. All I need is one.

Would adding an overload spring to each side hurt anything I think that I have holes in the frame for the bump stops, and would I have to change anything to my existing spring pack? I heard something about axle wrap could someone clarify that. Thanks WW
