Quick 4x4 conversion
Well i finaly got around to throwing in the front axle in my dually. Just wanted to show some basics on it. I wanted to use stock suspension parts, as most people lift the truck it seems.
Truck is 93 f350 exta cab dually
Donor truck is a 93 c350 centurion ( yea i cut up a centurion)
Centurion geting cut up
Front end out of mine
Cut the boxed section out of centurion front frame section.
Used this area as a reference point, as it is identicle on both frames it seems
Welded in this section from centurion
Bolted and welded in boxed front section for completetion of hanger. Also needed to cut a notch underthis where hanger goes through bottom of frame
Shock mount installed
Front axle rolled under and bolted on infront
Thats mostly it on pics, the rest is straight forward. Just drill and bolt. Will take other pics if people request.
The rear i just swaped put the lift blocks, longer shocks, extended the sway bar links, longer u bolts etc.
Hanger bearing needed a spacer
Before
After and is allot taller than i thought
I have the dually hub adapters, just didnt do them yet.
Any questions just ask.
