Rear factory overload/auxiliary spring capacity
I want to add the auxiliary overload springs to my 1970 F250 Heavy Duty Special. I recently bought a 1972 F250 Camper Special complete rust free frame that has the factory auxiliary spring setup. I can't find any info on how much weight capacity the auxiliary springs add. The door tag on my 1970 without the factory auxiliary rear springs says 6900#, and the door tag on the 1972 frame I just bought says 6900# and it has the overload/auxiliary springs. It almost seems like Ford did not rate the trucks for more weight carrying capacity with the overload/auxiliary spring option? Does anyone have info on this?
