I was refering to the "All Stock" note. They didn't make a factory 4x4 dually, except maybe a C&C.

50$ says it's a spacer and stick on aftermarket doolie fenders. The mouldings never were on true doolies and the paint does not match fenders to bed.
Ugg I really want to troll his ad!!!!

Ford F 350 Ford 7 3 Powerstroke Diesel 4x4 Truck Dually | eBay

I have owned a f350 c&c dually 4x4. It was great. Only thing I didn't like was cab to axel of 84" great for a deck.

I have known others to buy a cc long box 4x4 dually that was done by the dealership.

For future reference, our trucks will clear 35s on stock suspension. I had very minor rubbing on the passenger side of my front bumper. A little grinder work and it clears all the way up til full lock, then I get mild rubbing on the leaf springs.

Congrats Jim, now you will not have any time to get anything done. LOL Sounds like a good idea for a new thread but I don't know if it would get very many posts :-X21


The wheels are even real Alcoa's like my or someone has done a superduty axle swap. I would say Alcoas.

Looks nice. 35's really fill up the wheel wells on the OBS. On the 7.3 NBS trucks it takes a 4" lift and leaves enough room in the wheel wells it looks like they should be running 40's.

Ick. I hate that look lol. Iv always like the "stuffed" look and I needed new tires so I bit the bullet. I was a little worried they would rub like crazy. Definitely gonna get 35s when I need new tires again!

How much lift r u running Gabe?

4 inches in the front according to sky's website.

Do you like your lift/tire combo? Do you think you could fit more tire?

I had a guy at work trying to convince me to jack mine up and throw some 38s under it lol. Hes a bit of an off road junkie

madMatador78 05-30-2016 09:44 AM

Better get that D60 ready if you plan on doing much lift. Lol.

El Camino Man 05-30-2016 05:11 PM

Swap in that D60 and might as well swap in that ZF too! Lol
