Thanks for the info!
Looking on Lances website it says the 865 will work with a 1/2 ton. I have a 3/4 ton Crew cab short bed Ford F250. I haven't installed airbags or any additional suspension components... Will I need to get anything? I really don't want to get airbags as they seem to always leak. I was debating on getting some larger energy suspension bump stops if I need some help to engage the overload sooner. The material they use allows a smoother engagement of the overload and since the bumpstops are bigger than the standard bumpstops they engage sooner.
I took measurements in the rear of my truck and here is a picture to describe my current situation with stock suspension.

I am thinking a 2" bumpstop in the rear and a 1" bumpstop up front. That would give me 1" before my overloads would engage. Any reason the rear of the leaf has a bigger gap than the front from the factory?
