2013 f550 suspension help

[bad moose]

I have a brandy new service truck. F550 with a maintainer bed and crane I scale at 18860 lbs and just put on the final piece to the truck. A 450 lbs Trailblazer welder. Well all was fine and dandy before the welder, the truck now leans 2 to 3 inches on the rear towards the drivers side. Go Figure.

The welder is mounted on top of the toolboxes at the rear, air compressor at the front on the drivers. The crane on the pass side. Bed mount is not an option but would work the best just not enough room. and I have to watch my weight, can't go over 19500 lbs, I'm at right around 19250lbs right now.

Was thinking air helper springs but know nothing about them pro's or con's. Also if any vendors could help depending on options and thoughts.

Did the company that installed the body modify/ customize the leaf pack on the right side of the truck to compensate for the crane?

If they did, I wonder if they can offer a solution in the form of another modified leaf pack for the left side of the truck.

Going to have to add a leaf or two to the leaf pack.

I'll have to check on the crane side pack.

That's what is was thinking on adding a leaf after research. The truck seems to be natrully rest on the overloads before i loaded her up.

You will find out the over load brackets will tear out of the frame and the leafs will break. We threw all of our add a spring crap out and picked up some armored car leafs. Also get some high quality gas shocks to get rid of the sway.
