85 f350 4x4 conversion

[fordf350dually]

i wanna make a c/c dually into a 4x4. how hard is it too make everything work as far as the axle goes?

The front frame horns are not exactly correct to mount the front 4x4 shackles properly. The 4x4 has leaf springs. If you want a lift, most people are buying the shackle reversal kits, and that would work on your 2wd frame.

how high will i neen ro jack the back to match?

need to*

From what I am told 2wd f350s have NO blocks

4wd F350s have 4" blocks

takes me 2 days to do a complete swap from 2wd to 4wd. but i have done 3 of them now. it isnt to bad to do.

Both my 2WD's have no blocks in the rears. Just spring on the axle...

diesel crawler wat all do i need. like do i pull it all off a 4x4 or do a have to get specific stuff to make it work on my 2wd also do i use my dually hubs or do i have to get different ones for the dana 60.?

you will need to find a complete donor axle with dually adapters, springs, shackles, shacke and spring hangers, track bar and mount, steering linkage, front shaft, f350 tcase, and the correct blocks for the rtear. it is alot of work.

You will need a 4wd trans, a transfer case, front and rear driveshafts, a dana 60, a pair of dually hubs off of a Dually dana 60, leaf springs, rear leaf spring hangers, shock towers, and you will need to make some sort of front shackle/spring hanger

so im looking at 1500 dollars tied up in this or better? i read your rsk you did on ur powerstroke. i think i may do that.

 

[Diesel_brad]

Yeah. I have about 1500 into it but I picked up my dana 60 for $400 w a driveshaft,driver side u-bolt plate,t-case yolk,dually hubs(sold them for 200),sway bar& brackets, track bar and bracket. But I also COMPLETELY rebuilt axle other than carrier bearings and R&P. All new......ball joints, u-joints,spindle needle bearings w/seals, inner axle seals, pinion seal,wheel bearings, one spindle, one outer axle,rotors, calipers, brake hoses, adjustable track bar, RSK, NEW SD springs, u-bolts, swaybar end links w/bushings and misc hardware.

i still need to rebuild my front driveshaft to the tune of about 100

 

[fordf350dually]

are you happy with the superduty springs and were did you pick the rsk up from?
