as long as when at static hight the slip yolk isnt out more than 2 inches from fully compresed on the stub youll be fine

 

This would have been a perfect opportunity for you to put on a set of the F-250 front shock mounts, but you'll be pretty happy with what you did buy. I have a set that are waiting for me to get off my duff and put 'em in; if I'd have done it when I was installing the lift, it'd already be done.

I've seen a few posts where people have had some front spring bow after installing those springs and have fixed it either by installing new spring buckets or shimming the stock ones if they were in good enough shape. I had some minor bow that was fixed by spending some time adjusting my track bar, but I didnt install the same springs you did.

Show off some of that mad articulation when you get that stuff installed.

 

Does the super duty shock mounts provide more flexibility for the springs or something?

 

They are an eyelet type rather than a shaft type, more shock options.

 

Well, maybe it's more options, maybe it's not. The rumor is that because it allows eye style mounts at both ends, it endows your axle with more articulation.

I cant tell you for sure, as I havent done the swap. All I know is that it's something to do and I'm bored.

Last time that happened, I did an engine swap...

 

I think I have ran into some problems.


I finally got the axle under but not the passenger side coil spring is rubbing against the coil bucket.



Does the coil cups look correct?





Now the driverside looks fairly decent..







What do yall think is wrong!??!

 

It looks like the passenger side coil could rotate a little more to seat into the perch. I dont know if that will make it not rub the spring tower or not. I assume you have the correct "c" bushings for the radius arm ? It appears the axle is twisted away from the radius arms.

 

Removed my drop radius arm brackets and bolted up the coil springs.....and this is where I am at. Looks like I am going to have to do some drilling. WHAT DO YALL THINK?

 

I wouldnt think a well designed system would require you to have to change location of drop brackets, unless you were using extended radius arms. I have installed 4 lift kits on 77 through 91 ford trucks and none of them required doing this. Now this doesnt mean that yours might not have to. What do the instructions tell you? You should be able to call them or go online and get some help from their tech. It may be that when you have eveything bolted up and the actual weight of the truck on the axle everything will fall into place.
