I have a set of 2004 ford f-250 rear springs. It would be going on a k30 1 ton. I already have about 6" of lift. What kind of lift am I looking at with the swap also. The leaf pack looks pretty good as long as i take the overload spring off top and bottom. I want to know will i run into a lot of axle wrap problems. Also the reason I really want to run them is that it will push my axle like 3-4" forward. The spring pin is offset. It is 24" to the front and 32" to the rear.
 
should be about 4" or so, at least thats what chevy 56's give you. You might run in to some steering issues moving the axle that far forward. Chevy 56's are 26"/30" which moves the axle about 2" so your fords will be closer to 4". Some people keep the overload as sort of a bump stop, others just cut it down and use it like a zero rate for a little extra lift, which you might need if you want to get 6" out of the swap. As for the axle wrap the front will be really soft, but a good set of shocks will go a long way
