I have the two wheel drive f250 in my 86' and it is really chewing up my tires on the out side edge You would think that over time the springs would sack and the tires would ware on the inside of the tire... Anyways, I've replaced all pitman arms, tie rod ends (basically everything from the wheels to the steering box) and have replaced the wheel bearings and races. I just got done doing the king pins and had it aligned and they said there was nothing I could do for the camber adjustment except to keep bringing it in and buy tires!! I told them to go fly a kite... I have seen that tuff country has some brackets (http://www.jackit.com/ford/axle_pivot_brckts.htm) but they are for the 4wd... is there any real difference between the how the 2wd and 4wd are attached under the motor?
Granted the d60 swap would be nice but then again I don't have a cool $1000 laying around either so I'm leaving it a 2wd for a while (ok, long while...) If the brackets would work for a 2wd as well I would probably just lift it some. Looking at the truck, it looks like I could get a longer bolt for the lower part of the spring and put some solid steel spacers between the i-beam and spring for the front and put some blocks on the back axle... To me there really dosn't seem to be anything more to it than that. does this sound feasible to anyone else or have I jumped off the deep end?
