ok guys i have a 93 ford idi 7.3 with 35's and a 3 inch body lift....not hight enough. now i bought a 85 f250 gas with a 6 or 8 inch lift with brand new 35's witch are on my truck now for 200 bucks with no title and a blown motor. will that lift work in my truck like the front end because i know that the leafs for my truck are pretty much sapposed to be flat and these are no way to be flat...the lift on this 85 has about 500 miles on it. i will post pics of both trucks and how the suspenstion is on the front ends if wanted. like to get this truck done and ready for the body shop.thanks

 

Im pretty sure the front springs on a gas job truck aren't quite as heavy duty as the diesel springs just because the difference in the weights of the motors. Also I believe you have a twin traction beam axle in the f250, while the f350 will have a straight axle most of the time....

 

they are both wishbone front ends and both 250's.my idi has 3 leafs in the front and the lifted ford has 5...so this weekend if i get a thumbs up im gunna do it

 

Sweet! I dont think you should have a problem then, unless a Ford front end expert can chime in and give us some other info??? Good luck bud, let us know how everything goes this weekend!

 

Any luck with that beast over the weekend?

 

um no...i went to a birthday "keg" party and cops came and i got driven home in a cop car.im under 21 so its at the house still. im not gunna be home till sunday so maybe monday night after work ill start.hahaha

Thats fine, keg parties are way more fun than putting a lift kit in ha ha

 

oh yes

 

ok last night i put the blocks and new/used u bolts in and tipped the axle......did not have fun doing it....thank god i have a dad that can use the phone in prison and he told me if i couldnt do it to take the shocks off..so i did and had no problom.done 30 mins later. today im jacking both trucks up in the air and taking all the drop brackets off the donor truck and taking my front end all apart and we will se what time it is from there
