What size is the rear axle on the new 1-ton SRWs? Also, what does the rear spring pack look like? No worries if you don't have opportunity to answer, was just curious. Thanks.
Are you talking in terms of inches or weight capacity? I'm not a big ford guy but I do try to read as much as possible about all the brands. From my understanding they switched the 2017 trucks to a Ford axle. His rear axle weight rating is 7280 which is 280lbs more than his last. It looks like they are going off tire rating for that number.
The front axle weight ratings have changed greatly too. His is not 5990 compared to 6000. Both trucks have plow preps.
From what I gathered there are 3 fgawr of 5200, 5600 and 5990. Not sure if the springs are different. If you go to the ford trucks forum you can read all about the sticker gate. They made it so complicated that it took them a while to sticker the doors properly. But hey it happens with all brands.
I'll work on thay picture of the spring pack. There's good and bad to having in-laws only a mile away right??? I can't believe I forgot about that. I looked at it many times and we talked about it but didn't take a pic. It may have an additional leaf and still retains the upper overload.
