CJ18 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I have a 2006 F150 4x2 that I have added about an extra 1000lbs to worth of batteries, amp, subs, and box. I need to upgrade all 4 shocks and my rear springs to help handle all of the extra weight. I need some advice and recommendations on what I should do. I have no idea when it comes to this stuff so all help will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmcbob_345 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Stiffer springs and dampeners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeyrapboy Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Stiffer springs and dampeners This^ that also when you go to the parts store tell them that you are hauling heavy stuff and that you need better shocks to. My buddy did this when he was haulin a bed full of gravel and a trailer full of equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert8252 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Bag it? Any price range? Could atleast bag the rear to handle the weight and in case you ever haul or pull stuff still have more if you need it Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I would like to keep it under $500 for the suspension. I still have to do brakes also. Can yall post links to packages that would do what I am looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loudcav Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 you could try timbern springs they are just hard rubber that replaces your bumpstops Ive got a set on my old Silverado 1500 that I need to swap over to my HD Ive been able to haul over a ton in the bed with them on the 1500 no problem yes it sat down in the back but not as far as it would have without them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
