1989 F-250 7.3 Project

[hacked89]

I think the 250 and 350 single use the same main rear spring stack. The difference in 4x4 250 vs 350, would be a 2in vs 4in block. It looks like you have both a 2 and 4 in block, so just run the 4in and you should be fine with stance. Another difference between the 250 and 350, is the 350 gets over loads for added capacity. These are over loads on top of my springs for reference, have yet to put the brackets on the frame for them. Yes this f-super spring stack is massive.

Thanks, that helps. I only have 1 F250 currently and it’s a Frankenstein, haven’t seen what they really are setup like from the factory.

just had to buy the d60 ball joint press, spindle puller, inner axle seal installer.. good thing I’ve synchronized all my front ends to d60s

My line that you quoted was talking about having the truck sitting at the fuel pumps.

Thanks man I should be good. I spent a bunch of time on rock auto looking at pics that seemed to line up with mouses comment.

Also, you don’t need to necessarily buy those axle tools we spoke about if you don’t want to. We can change your seals when you you come down or next time I come up if you wanted.

Us breaking something and getting you temporarily beached in PA sounds more adventurous.

Got it, Works both ways, the all around “fun” starts now that it left the driveway

Take my trail rig 37s off and replace with factory size wheel and tires.

I haven't done anything special to my truck. But I can tell you that if you put the factory size tires on, the truck looks like it's on roller skates. Best way I can describe the look. Doesn't make the ride any better. In fact it was a bit harsher.

I put yokohama geolandar M/T G003
LT255 /85 R16 123Q E1 RBL

On mine. And I wouldn't go any smaller.

I agree with that statement. Truck looks like it skipped leg day.

Thanks guys, too late now, atleast it should gain 1-2hp on the dyno with its skates.

I have a question for you. I looked through your thread and didnt see a clear picture of it. I am in the middle of putting in the same T04Z turbo on my truck. what did you do with the #3 injector line that is right in the way of the intake there? were you able to bend it enough with out kinking it? seems like it has a long way to go to get out of the way.

Didn’t touch #3, did have to bend #5 & #7

Oh snap. Been there, done that, three times over. Always fun cleaning the axle tubes out.

Put new ball joints in. Knocked the spindle bearings out. Passenger side is missing the thrust washer. That’s fine but looks like it’s a $74 washer set and only available from one place.
