Recommended Helper Springs For 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4X4 Short Bed

Question

Question:

2022 F250 4x4 SB w/3158 lbs payload capacity. From time to time I will be exceeding the payload capacity by approximately 300 lbs. Which helper spring do you recommend to level the load and reduce the squating? I understand that it will not increase the payload capacity.

I recommend the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSR-128-40-2 for your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4X4 short bed. These springs are progressive so when you are driving with no weight or little weight it will not act harshly like some of the other heavier rated springs. As weight is added to the suspension the springs will compress adding additional support to your suspension helping to keep your F-250 level and provide you with a stable ride. The springs will also help cushion additional shock from road hazards so that it won't cause as harsh ride.

These springs are rated for 3,000lbs of support capacity at 50% compression. You are correct that it will not increase your payload capacity, do note that overloading your vehicle may cause severe damage to the suspension, frame and even drivetrain components as all these components are a factor in determining safe capacities.
