How do I know if my f250 has overload springs?

Look at the rear leaf springs of your 2015 Ford F-250. You should see a bundle of metal springs held together with a metal band. If you see a spring on top of this that looks separate and angles up to make contact with a bracket on the frame that means you have the overload spring and would want part # RAS3611-SLHD.

Can I put F250 leaf springs on a F150?

Same length and width (HD F150 springs were the same as LD F250 springs). F350 springs will fit too, but they are wide and require wider brackets. For the front, the F150 can take coils from 4×2 and 4×4 F150’s, and 4×2 F250’s AND F350’s as the coil springs all mounted the same.

Why do leaf springs sag?

All springs sag with age. The constant load they bear leads to creep within the molecular structure of the metal. Over time, the spring weakens and begins to lose height (coil spring) or arch (leaf spring). As the spring settles, ride height decreases and causes undesirable changes in wheel alignment.
