The So Cal rake has grown on me... The used F350 rears are just sittin' waitin'... Plus, i really like gettin' her in the garage from time to time (1/2'' clearance).

You're right of course, but termn8rx asked, so I tried to answer.

No need to change this bar, it'll work fine with the new V or X's.

w/o looking at part numbers, is the bar the same as the F250, wouldn't raising the front shift the axle slightly?

Yes, the axle shifts slightly (1/8-3/8th of an inch?), but I haven’t noticed any handling changes.

Likely the same bar on an F250, those years with a Dana 50 on leaves, but not certain of that.

just for kicks i did look, the track bar in year 2000 at least is all the same between Excursion, F250, F350, F450, F550. but I only checked 2 places online and only 1 of them even listed the part, the other shows it on the diagram but not in the parts list.

the year 2000 service manual says it is a 3B239, and that covers all Superduty's so maybe it is correct
