[ford77150]

What could i do to my 77 f-150 so i could get more flex? Would new leaf springs help?

lift? if so, what kind and how many inches?
axles, tires, wheels?

full bodied rig? truggy? hybrid?

To get more flex what you need to do is sell it and buy a nissan.

One cheap trick is to wrist the pass side radius arm. It releives the bind in the front suspension. Unpin for the trail and pin for the street. Or you could extend the front radius arms for a similar gain in flex.

For the rear, you could remove the 3rd and/or 4th leaf from the spring pack.

I'm not sure about the full size, but the Rough Country, Skyjacker, and similar coils are pretty stiff in an Early Bronco. They may not be so bad with the extra weight of the full size. You might want to look into a set of progressive coils to go with a radius arm modification.

And that is factory vs. the girly Heep...

Might check out these coils:
