Looks like they work!
I've decided my next F350 is going to be an F450.
Hell they are only a grand more..$$.
Barry, if you get a F450(or another F350) here is the dilemma.
The cab/chassis version come with heavier springs but they turn the engine hp down(about 100hp?).
The regular version with a box comes with the weaker springs but full hp.
Go figure.....
A buddy has a 2019 F450 that came with a box and he removed it and added a Hydra. I was looking at the springs last week and I think it had one more spring under it compared to this white F350 with the Tombrens.
Our old '11 F350 with duals came as a cab/chassis and it is hell for stout on the springs. Took the emissions off and turned the hp on it. Best of both worlds.
It's stupid how they set them up from the factory.
You’re welcome.

It's not really that at all.
The F350 I have now is that way. Because it's a cab chassis, it's classified by Ford as a "commercial vehicle", and the engine has a smaller, turned down turbo.
I asked the Ford Fleet manager why?
They said because fleet vehicle companies are the buyers 90% of the time. And the companies want the trucks to last longer. No hot rodding around by employees.
Fleet guy did say they would last longer, and that is the main reason.
That new 7.3 Ford gasser is the same way.... Less HP in the commercial vehicles.
I don't ever notice the lack of horses when driving or even pulling. It just bothers me it's that way.
