Ive priced stock F250 springs (b code) with a spring rate of 3000lbs. What is the spring rate of these and will it affect the towing capability?

don't know spring rate. but much stouter than stock, I twisted the stock springs these are holding up fine. towing capability should increase.

Don't remember the spring rate, but these springs will substantially lift the rear 3 or more inches so be prepared for that. You may have to get a major drop hitch if you put these on.

Dont know the towing capabilities i just replaced stock springs on my 2000 f250 with these gained about 6 inches in the back i carry heavy loads (sander) they work great but need to also purchase lowering kit for transfer case springs create a pitch on axle will just ruin u joints if transfer case isnt lowered

it should it is pretty much a universal spring on my f-250 i had to adjust the location of the holes on the pattern but it was still not that hard, i am a mechanic though so if you are not a do it your self er take extra caution when drilling holes in your truck, but the kit is awesome i love it

That depends on the height of the trailer you'll be towing. Go to this site to read about how to figure it out. http://www.etrailer.com/question-14216.html

I cannot remember the spring rates. There are 2 firing springs in the kit. One is considered the competition spring and it produces a very light pull.

Yes Brad you're truck is light duty. A 2500 on up would be a heavy duty pickup. Based on the maximum towing capacity and what not. 1500 is a light duty.

Mine were installed on a 1999 F250 SuperDuty, V10. If the frame is the same there should be no problem. Ask your FORD dealer about the frame, then go for it.They are working great but I also want to install taller overload spring bumpers to reduce sway.

This shock will not actually lift your truck but it will accommodate a 2.5 inch lift if you go that route. The front coil over type Bilstein's are adjustable and work fantastic, they will provide anywhere from stock height to 2.5 inches of lift. I hope this has answered your question.

AFTER I purchased it the instruction thing said, "Not for towing." -Basically it is for bike racks etc only. In my case, when I received it, I threw it to the side till I needed it to find this out. (well past any return time)I do not know the answer to the weight it can pull. Sorry.

I suspect this one depends on the trailer you're pulling and what you use for towing. With my F250, my dump trailer jack prevented me opening the tail completely, our small rv trailer is much lower and the gate cleared.

I towed a little 3,200lbs. trailer and they keep my truck level. Tongue weight was about 350lbs. It's adjustable for your use.

There is just a preprogrammed haul setting. I have a 03 dodge ram with 35's. When towing my 6x12 enclosed trailer in drive, it would shift from 3 to 2 all the time. Installing the tow setting it has more power and doesn't down shift like that anymore. Truck has a little bit better mpg's when towing.

I have a F250 superduty and haul a ultra tanker cab over camper (Artic Fox 10.5'). With my trailer I weighed in at 13.500lbs!These will put your be up to where you are without a load easily and will stop your sway from side to side when making corners.They are a must for me. I think they would be great for you also.

Hello,With this question I would suggest going to someone who knows about coilovers. You don't need compressors because you can lower the perch to take the spring off. You should always set preload on coilovers. Megan racing has all of the info you need to know about them on their website.

Amazon sold my springs as a pair and I've never seen them sold any other way so I'd say yes. I've since upgraded to the heavier series, however. They are holding up well but the lighter series sagged after a few months of occasional hauling. I don't recommend running them anywhere near their rated capacity.

All I can say is, These springs work great. Be careful to install the springs in the same location and with the same tension on your truck springs.I have used many types of overload springs, none have worked as well

Daniel,Mine is a 99. I got a bad pair, one is longer than the other. I did not notice for a few days, after I discarded the original springs. I notified Marty at Dorman and basically told me tough *** . I cant send them back and be without my vehicle. The springs were just as week or weaker than the original pair with 230,000 miles on them. I am going to have to buy another pair(from other than Dorman) and eat the 250.00 I have in these. Amazon did not respond to me, Dorman said it is Amazon's problem.Had to drive it tracking to the left which ruined the new BFG all terain tires I had put on at the same time.

Your setup should be fine as is. I use this on a 31 ft trailer which we towed from NJ to FL and back without a problem. Our F150 handled it well. 250# tongue weight is well within limits.
