Full size truck with leaf springs.. show some flex pictures

[lllateralus]

As posted in other threads (full size thread, most recent) I have the 2001 F350 Powerstroke with front and rear leafs.

I am curious how much flex is possible with simple mods like disconnecting the sway bars, etc.

If you have any pictures, post up.

(not just Fords, but any full size with leaf springs)

Watch the articulation range starting around the 15 second mark. Long-range leaves in back, swaybar disco'd in front. Power Wagon on 33s.

Hey Bill, I think the OP was looking only for rigs with front and rear leaf springs and how much flex they can get. Us coil up front guys have it easy with flex. LOL

ahhhhh. Sorry if my flex-appeal caused them pain...

But my rear leaves really move; I'm constantly amazed at how far they go.

The rear of mine only has 1" of added lift, everything else is stock. It flexes very good, in the pictures I still have another 1.5-2.5" of flex before it would have that tire unloaded.

Who cares about spring flex?! Its all about the frame flex on full size trucks :violent-smiley-031: :Wow1: J/K :bike_rider:

Front sway bar removed rear is still on:

Yeah, it's amazing how much frame flex older trucks have compared to new ones. :Wow1:

another issue, is the OP has a powerstroke. those front springs dont work the same as say Northmans burb, way stiffer. he needs to see 4 leaf trucks with diesels in front. just sayn.

Thanks for the replies. Zukrider, you are correct that my truck has the 7.3. But, any truck with front leafs Ill be interested in checking out. I am just wondering what they are capable of with a few very basic mods.

Rotbox, DAMN that is some frame flex!! That is cool though, as that's what they were designed to do.

Thanks again for the replies and pictures, and keep them coming.
