[diesel4me2]

hi everybody,
some of you may know i'm doing a solid axle swap into my truck and also converting it to 4x4 at the same time. i'm going to be running it on 4-links and bags all around. hears the deal, the guy that is making my links needs some demensions from a stock truck with leafs. since mine is a 4x2 with coils, i don't have any access to leafs. can anybody get these dimensions for me?


1. from front mounting point to center to rear mounting point of leafs

2. from floor to mounting points front and rear

3. from floor to center of axle

4. length of leafs


i only need the front supension dimensions as i have leafs in the rear already.

Front of spring to center of axle is-24"
Rear to center of axle is-29"

Floor to bolt in rear hangers-15 1/2"
Floor to center of front-19 1/2"
Floor to center of top shackle bolt 24"

Front spring eye to rear spring eye-52 3/4"

Floor to center of axle shaft is 14 1/2
The truck has 245/75/16 tires on it and it is a diesel, but there is no body on it so that may affect the measurements.

Also the floor is not the best out there but i checked each side, front/back and they were the same.
This was an 87 F250.

All these measurements were taken inside a warehouse on a typically flat floor with the vehicle on the ground.
