After market parts for a F-250

Anyone have some info on where to go to get aftermarket suspension parts for a f 250 everything out there is for a 1/2 ton. Any suggestions would be great. All i can find is original parts from LMC I would love to upgrade front and rear suspension once again thanks.

Don't know what you need or are looking to do, but my 56 f250 is completely rebuilt, and is featured on ''earls world''.
I hope this will help.

Here is earl's world, but he was going stock: http://earl.clubfte.com/

I could be wrong, but if you are going with IFS and 4 link, does it really matter if it is an F250? You will be replacing most of the suspension parts.

A lot of the suspension parts interchange if I recall, the F250 mostly has more leafs. I had to replace the front ubolts on my front axle and mid fifty had them in stock. If you have specific parts you are looking for you can call them Mid Fifty F-100 Parts - Home and they will help you out.

On the F250 the front springs (as far as the bushings, shackles, bolts) are the same as the F100s. The difference in the stock fronts on the F250 are more leaves in the packs. On the rear F250s springs they are wider than the F100s. Macs Vintage and National Parts Depot carry the larger F250 stuff. You can also find a set of F100 springs and hangers and derate the setup if you wanted to which gives a lower stance and softer ride.
