The Pathfinder system, positioned between the Backcountry and Pintop, is designed for Super Duty owners who prioritize smooth on-road driving and reliable off-road performance. It offers a comfortable, controlled ride for daily use and light to moderate off-roading, absorbing road imperfections with ease. Featuring Carli-SPEC 2.5” aluminum shocks with a durable hard-anodized finish and high-performance red shock oil, it ensures long-lasting reliability and consistent damping. With a 5.5” front lift, progressive coil springs, and upgraded suspension components, the Pathfinder balances comfort and capability for drivers seeking a premium, versatile suspension system.
The rear can be outfitted with a replacement Full Progressive Spring Pack (reduces capacity to a “light” ¾-ton) or factory leaf-pack modifying Progressive Add-a-Pack (eliminates the factory block and maintains payload capacity; pairs with a rear bump stop drop). This is where the F250 and F350 are a bit different. Since 2008, the main spring packs on these two trucks is different; the F250 has a lighter rate spring pack (2 main leaf springs) than its 350 counterpart (3 main leaf springs). The F250 Add-a-Pack equipped systems are a nice improvement over stock; the F350 with the Add-a-Pack is still very stiff in the rear as the main pack doesn’t move much unless loaded. We recommend the Full Replacement Leaf Spring packs for both trucks but especially the F350 given the super-stiff factory springs. If you own an F250 built with the Tremor or high-capacity tow package, these are equipped with an F350 rear spring and should avoid the add-a-pack, as well. If capacity is a concern, an aftermarket airbag system should be installed to complement the Full Progressive Leaf Springs to restore the F350 capacity. We recommend a system that will allow the airbags to disconnect from the lower mount during suspension cycling to ensure you’re able to take advantage of all your rear suspension travel. The Full Progressive Leaf Spring Pack will shift the axle slightly forward in the wheel well to ensure maximum tire clearance for a 37” M/T at full compression.
Please note if your truck is a 2023+ Platinum/Limited trim equipped with factory headlight angle / load scale sensors you will need these brackets to fix the sensors in place and remove the sensor linkage. We include them free with your system if required.
