i know a few of the guys on here have 2500 coil springs in the front. i'm thinking i might do that just for ****s and giggles. see if it doesnt do anything. i'm sure i can find them somewhere around here lol
The coil springs 99% of the time do not sag at all. The difference in ride height in the front of my truck, passenger coil spring is 1/8" higher than the driver spring. Not even noticeable.
Trust me, I ordered a brand new coil spring and grabbed a passenger side leaf spring from a junk yard. Can't remember if I was the original one who suggested it or if I got that idea from someone else, it was a while ago. Did the coil spring first, and it didn't make a bit of a difference in my lean. Replaced the driver's leaf spring, and now my truck leans to the passenger side about 1/4". Figured it evens out when I get in.
Could also just get a set of air bags for like $250 and have more carrying capacity and have the driver side aired up a little more than the passenger side to level it out. Just my opinion.
my half ton has no lean, but than again, i have a 2 inch add a leaf, and 2500 lb overloads so its pretty stiff in the rear (8 springs in the rear packs)

I did the same. I installed a set of 2500 lb overloads because I haul a heavy trailer and a heavy mud truck. I love the stiff ride though.
i sure don't mind it, other than on one chunk of a road i drive on with large heaves, than it sucks nuts
i installed mine b/c farm work, next on the list is a gooseneck hitch

were did you get the overloads from? i have the lean, and it's pretty noticeable now that i have lifted my truck....was thinking about a new spring on the driver's side, but if i can find overloads for a decent price, i would prefer to fix the problem and add the weight for hauling
just be careful putting overloads on it, the truck won't sag as much, but the axle, frame, and brakes are no stronger then factory.
Very true. You can add enough suspension to make the truck as strong a a 1 ton dodge but the rest is still 1/2 ton meaning just that.
The only reason I added the 3/4 springs was so my truck wouldn't sag evertime I hitch the trailer up. I only tow a few times a month otherwise I would have a CTD in my yard.
