Spring rates, gross axle weights, etc.

[M'staedt]

Does anybody know what the factory spring rates are for the front and rear springs of a D250 or D350?

How about ACTUAL axle weights (not ratings) for a truck with and without a trailer (goose neck or receiver hitched)? SOMEBODY out there must have weighed their rig at some time or another.

Thanks!

And the difference would be what on the 4x4 250+350?Just the ride height or what?

I haven't weighed each axle but my '93 weighs 6750 which includes all the junk I carry in the rear plus the canopy.

That help?
