f350 springs on TTB

[gonecrazyi]

I was looking at a few fsuperdutys and the rear spring mount looks to be a lot heavier built than a regular one. They also look to ridge very rough.

I agree Billy, the mounts did appear to be a much stronger casting than the lighter duty trucks...

k, now for the second part of the question.
would i be able to take the stock negative arch TTB springs and re-arch them to a positive arch, then put in 1 or 2 add-a-leafs for an F350 to keep the arch?

 

[flareside_thun]

I think re-arching those springs to go back onto an IDI powered truck would be a moot point as eventually they'd sag again. Adding those add-a-leafs will make your truck ride like your axles are welded straight to the frame....one add a leaf alone can do that. Down here we have what we call a Whitlock levelling kit...you take the the bottom arched leaf (not the thick base leaf) and add it to the front spring pack...still rides halfways decent and usually levels the truck...if not more.

the truck sits level but i want 2-4 inches of lift to fit 37's

Hm, if you can wait a few weeks for us to throw the F-Superduty springs on...I'll measure the amount of lift so everyone can have a definitive answer.

For anyone interested, Biggin92 put those F-Superduty springs on the front of his F250 last night and only netted 3 1/2 inches. Not what he had hoped for but at least the front tires don't scrub anymore!

How does it ride?

 

[flareside_thun]

BRB I'll go take it for a drive....

EDIT: He's got it apart right now...I'll ask him....

 

[flareside_thun]

Welp, got it back together and went for a ride.......he calls them factory Ford easyrides...they ride better than the springs that came from the factory on this truck.....almost a 4 inch lift and a nice ride? FTMFW! It does sway a bit more though....

The rear cast mounts will NOT work on a pickup frame. the f-superdyt is a squarere frame then the pickup frame

 

[biggin92]

yes the f- super duty springs are a direct bolt on and gave me 4 inches of lift on a ttb truck , so they would probably be a 6 inch lift spring on a dana 60 truck

 

[gonecrazyi]

Is there anyway we could get a few pics of one lifted with superduty springs?

 

[Dieselcrawler]

yea, i wana see this. i know of atleast 4 fsuperdutys in junk yards.

 

[flareside_thun]

He'll get some, but to my knowledge there's no before pics.....
