'88 F250 Leaf Compatibility
Hey all,
First post on the forums here, I have a '79 Jeep CJ as a daily driver, but it's lifted to heck, so I picked up a Single cab long box '88 F250, with the 7.3 IDI as a winter driver. Turns out I can't turn away from lifted vehicles, so I am out to lift the F250. My question, that I have been unable to find anywhere else, is do the rear leaf springs fit where the front ones are? Turns out I also have a '89 parts F250, with rear leafs I am hoping I can put on the front of my good truck, and block the back. I measured the distance from bolt to bolt on the spring hangers or mounts, and both are close to 55 inches, I believe? Will rear leafs bolt up to where the front ones are? And if they do, what will the lift height be? Because the front leafs right now are beyond flat. And what else would be needed to be modified with the rear leafs on the front? Drop pitman arm, a look at driveshaft angles? Any help and input is appreciated! Not new to dealing with lifts and leafs, but my experience ends with Jeeps.
