F350 springs getting old... what to replace with?

[Eagle]

OK TCG, in prep for the winter time, I'd like to think about maybe swapping out the stock springs in the truck and look at replacing the radius arms as well, since everything is starting to be pretty rusty under there.

First, which kit should I go with? Not looking to lift the truck to the sky, but it might be cool to be able to fit a 35x12.5 under the truck, which means nothing much more than leveling is needed. I was looking at a kit like this for the front, as an example:

Rancho - 2.5 Inch Lift Kit with RS5000 Shocks - Fits 2005 to 2007 Ford F350 - 4WheelParts.com

From there though, I'd still need new rear springs... those too are starting to show signs of wear.

So... for those truck nuts out there who know a thing or two about what kits work well on these trucks and are built with quality, lets see what you have!

Prob is the front radius arms are rusted badly and flaking large pieces of material off. I need to have them replaced regardless... soo.....

I'd suggest tuff country stuff, made in USA and they don't just make ridiculous spring rates to raise the vehicle so it won't ride like an empty dump truck (though a 350 probably already does)

Did you do a new steering box on that thing I can't remember, what brand of so I need to do one on my excursion before winter

 

[Eagle]

I never did the steering box. They were too pricy for the issues I'm having right now, Brent.
[MENTION=4838]1MEANGT[/MENTION]- oh cut it out I really like this truck and don't want a new truck with all the emissions controls and DEF.

I want my truck with solid suspension, that's all.

I showed him and PANDUH a bunch of trucks this morning. "Junk" was the resounding answer.

do whatever this guy did

Stock replacements with a 2.5" spacer. The steel bolt in kind, not the stupid poly spacer.

I got my 2" level from Hell Bent Steel. Nice stuff.
