3/4 coils springs in a 1/2 ton

TexasCornBread · Nov 11, 2012

Ok so I have done a little research I know the springs will fit but my question is what steering components am I going to have to change. I will be doing this mod in December . Hope someone can help .

Thanks in advance

Shouldn't have to change anything. I know in the 2WD, a lot of guys use the Cummins/V10 truck springs to get 2" or so of lift to level the truck. The only way you would need to change anything is if you were somehow getting more than 2.5" of lift up front, and even then, you would really only need different shocks.

Keep in mind that a cummins coil will have a higher spring rate and give you a stiffer ride along with the added height
Try to get a spring from a gas truck, you'll get a bit of lift and a more comfortable ride then the diesel spring

I'm upgrading to the 3/4 ton Monroe sensa-trac shocks up front to match the rear . I'm looking for 2-3 inch of lift on front then I'm throwing a 3in the rear also

I'm not to worried about ride . Couldn't be no worse then what I'm at now which is bottoming out on the front

3/4 ton or 1/2 ton springs aren't really going to be any different
It's probably cheaper/easier to do a 2.5" leveling spacer
Your trucks 2wd isn't it?

Yup 2wd . My coils now sag that's why I'm looking at options
