I would put 3/4 ton springs in the back. I don't know that you would really need them in the front though.

 

I never heard of the timbren product before, but after reading it I really like it. If I were you I would go that route. Seems like the least amount of work that will give you consistant results every time. Nice find who ever posted it.. (im on page 2 so I can't see who posted it)

 

no you wouldn't need the front one's if all your doing is hauling good point but if you wanted to add a plow or heavy bumper than i would .

 

Aren't the 3/4 ton springs larger than the 1/2 ton, and therefore give you some lift?

I think thats right... and if it is, you put 3/4 springs in the back, and not the front, you'd be driving around looking at the ground.

 

here's a pic showing the normal timbren install with a gap so you get normal ride and no lift. it acts as a helper spring. you put them on the rear to haul a heavier load with little/no sag, including heavy tongue weight on a trailer. if you don't have a gap, you'll get a very very stiff and uncomfortable empty ride.

as said above, you would put them on the front only for snow plow or very heavy bumper. i have rear only, no front. i don't know how they would ride or drive.

 

actually its not to bad with just 3/4 ton springs in the rear only mine was like that for a couple years before i changed the fronts and when you load the bed down it keeps an even ride height
