Here is my new wood hauler - 1991 w250 4x4 with 360 v8 and granny 4 speed. I need to look into getting some air bags or some over load springs to help keep the truck a little more level and more stable on the road when loaded.

No it was a 351 auto. I sold it a couple months back
I have a spring rebuilder locally who has done aal's on a few of my trucks. I just had then put all new leaf packs on my stake body. Takes over a cord before the springs start to move, but it rides hard with no load.Here is my new wood hauler - 1991 w250 4x4 with 360 v8 and granny 4 speed.

I'm thinking about getting a firestone ride rite kit or air lift loadlifter kit. I don't really know what to do just yet though

Cheapest, easiest way to go is air shocks. Put a set on my 2500 for $80 ordered from Summit. Adjustable from 20-120 psi. I keep about 75 in mine. They were Monroe brand. Functional and nice for the money compared to other options.

Sharpen the chain, chuck chips ...repeat...
I'll make a counter point that shock mounting points aren't designed for heavy loads like that and I'll second Firestone air bags.

Yeah I had originally thought about the air shock idea, but shock mounts are not really intended to bear a lot of weight whereas an air spring/air bag system is designed specifically to bear weight to level the load.
Here's mine. I try not to run it too much on the salty wet streets this time of year. The frame is in great shape and I've done my part to keep it that way. The springs were the only option I had as the original packs had a couple snapped. It wasn't cheap, near $900 for the 10 leaf pack plus new shackles and u bolts bushings ect. The over load springs above the main packs were okay.

You must have been working them on Easter. Looks like they are still in their Easter finest. You must be one tough task master, not even letting them change their clothsHere's my wood hauler for the back 40 and my 2 helpers.
Made them split and stack the wood, too.

Whoop! That's a buggy. I'd have to take out a 20 yr mortgage to get one though, hahaha!
