Question How Many Leafs In The Factory Spring Packs?

[BigC350]

I bought my truck (02, 7.3, auto,4x4, supcab) used and it has a 7 leaf front pack. I dont see any part #s or anything. Im Trying to fit 325/65 18s under it ( I already have the tires in my garage, but no 18" wheels. got a good deal on em) I dont wanna buy wheels if there not gonna fit anyways. It has 265 16s on it now. Ive searched for answers but came up with nothin. Also, what offset should I get on the wheels when I do buy them. Thanks in advance for any help.

Can't help you with the wheel choice but I can tell you that stock 2002 F250/350 trucks came with V-code or X-code front springs. Look on the vehicle ID sticker on the drivers door jamb under the section for "springs"; V's were rated at 5200 lbs. X's were rated at 6000 lbs. Either of those spring packs has two leafs to a spring pack. I'm pretty sure your current front springs are aftermarket lift springs but without seeing the truck it would be pretty difficult to tell for sure. How many inches tall are 325/65/18 tires? The 265/75/16 tires on the truck are 31 inches tall so the new ones must be fairly big, and consequently will need at least a 6" lift??????

Hope this helps you get started.

According the metric to standard tire formula the 325 65 18 tires you have are 12.78" wide and 34.63" tall with the 18" wheel. So they are nearly equivilant to a 315 75 16. To answer your other question, pony express is correct the factory leaf pack only has 2 leafs. You either have a full aftermarket leaf pack or a factory pack with a mini pack added to it. Either way you will need at least a 2" lift in the front to clear those new meats.

My spring code is v. What setup do they have on the back from the factory. Leafs and a block? That might help me figure it out. From the center of the hub to the top of the wheel well opening is 26" in front and 27.5" rear.

I have 35" BFG A/T's on mine that actually measure about 34". I made them clear with a 2" add-a-leaf in the front....which actually only lifted it about 1.5". .

I can't remember the offset of my wheels, but they are an Ultra model 50/51 in 16.5" x 10".

Hope that helps.
