Coilover conversion?
I have a 1996 F-350 crew cab xlt with 11" lift. All I have right now are leaf springs and I eventually want to convert at least the front suspension to coilovers and install a 4 link system. I can't find any sites that even offer something similar. A 10" or 12" would be fine but I can't even find that. Does anyone know of a company that has what I'm looking for?

When guys put coils on these trucks, they swap in a 06 and up super duty axles. i wonder if that would be easyer than converting the dana 60 in there now. Then all you would have to do is get a lift for a super duty. Just a though anyway.

Thank you, I didn't really think about swapping axles. Makes sense though.

Thanks, and no not yet. Runs great but I still want to replace the engine and transmission eventually.

You could do an EB or f250 type set up with those type of trailing arms to drop brackets on the frame then a nice beefy panhard bar... Ive seen that setup before on Pirate somewhere...
Found it... 4 link, grass roots style.. Looks to be decent from my quick scan...

I have 2 complete '05 up axles with springs, hangers and everything you need for a conversion.
If you're interested let me know, getting tired of looking at stuff I'll never get time to work on.
