Frame measurements
Ok my F250's frame is a little bent from a wreck w the PO. I'm going to straighten it this afternoon. The only part that is my main concern is the front section just past the motor mounts where it is no longer doubled/tubed.
Can some one give me their height measurement from the ground to the front and back shackles on the front springs? Also the width from the front most point.
Or a link that can help. I've searched all morning and can't seem to find any type of references.

That'd be great wood. If you can measure from the center of the shackle bolts to the ground that'd help a lot. Or wherever, just as long as its from a stationary point on the frame and not the springs themselves, as the bushing wear would cause a false measurement.

Hey all,
I've got the drawings and specs for 1994, cant confirm for sure frame similarities but it should be close.
Factory specs (1994 F250 Ext. Cab long box 4x4) are:
Ground to bottom of frame at front axle: 24.7" unloaded 22.6" at max spring rating
Ground to bottom of frame at rear axle: 26.8" unloaded 22.0" at max spring rating
Bottom of front bumper 3 inches below front frame reference (21.7" above ground unloaded)
Hope that helps

It does, sorry I didn't update. I ended up deciding to wait. It was hot, and other than cosmetics its not affecting anything running gear wise. Also I had to use my dads shop, and he volunteered his help and discouragement haha. But this winter, when he doesn't want my free time used else where, I'll be replacing the radiator mount w an extra one I have here, new headlights, and correcting the frame.
Thank you for the time and help guys
