Hello all, I have a quick question, would a d60 front from a 1986 f350 4x4 would fit in my 6.9 idi 1985 f250 with the 4 speed?

track bar and mount, driveshaft and transfer case output yoke, D60 specific springs, rear lift blocks and U-bolts. your front calipers can be reused as long as the D60 is not model year 96-97.

Towcat hit it like a nail on the head! While it's possible to do JUST the axle, the correct way is to get all those parts.

Sky manufacturing has all the aftermarket stuff you'll probably need (pitman arm, trac bar and bracket, etc) I'm not trying to advertise, but hus prices are almost rock bottom for some top-notch quality stuff!

Do get the springs, or do a shackle flip and run super duty leafs. You are already there, why not? It takes some plate steel to fill in the frame horn though.
