You might look in to putting ng airbags in the back since you are looking for better towing. Air up to tow, air down for offroad.

Yeah it seems to be the same deal. Deavers for the regular f150 are a good bit cheaper even.

Do you think there is any difference between the two? I'm sure the ride height would be different.

I would need a "long travel" air bag or something wouldn't I? Not sure if that would help with axle wrap either.

Add a leaf to gain two inches of rear height and stop wheel hop.

or

Remove the factory second leaf and replace it with a leaf like the one I did in my thread to basically keep factory height and still stop wheel hop / axle wrap. A .449 thickness leaf works perfect just mount it as close as you can to both eyelets for length.

It works, it's under $500

Hoss, I'm very interested in the results you realize on the Raptor. Please do post your post-installation impressions.

I would consider Nationals but 1500 bucks for a pair of springs? Ouch! And $1325 for the Deavers! Why do they cost so much? I could get a decent Pro-Comp Lift for my F-250 with 4 new leaf Springs and shocks for 800 bucks like a year ago or so.

Maybe because they are designed to work and maybe because they are made in USA ...
