I may do this if I do the D60 swap on my 250. Are the FSuperDuty springs you used from a 4x4 or 4x2 ?

I don't know. The spring place looked them up. 88 to 93 SD.They said the measurements were the same eye to eye and the center bolt was in the same spot. It's just the springs had a 6" arch instead of a 3" arch (stock 97 f350 straight axle). The load was the same also. The rear bolt was a 5/8" bolt so they switched it for a 9/16" bushing. Or I could have drilled the holes out on the truck instead. I paid $125 each but they sold them to me for the price they paid for them when they bought them 10 years ago. They were setting on there shelf since then. Otherwise they were $200 each.

Got my shocks today when I got home. It rides real nice and looks good too. Just need to raise the back a little now. Thanks for the help everyone.

Rodney posted the Tuff Country SX8000 earlier in the thread so I ordered those and I like them.

Thanks Bill, Hope the up-pipes work out for you so I can try to copy it when mine start leaking.
