Suspensions

Hello, are the 2013-2016 suspension systems the same through these and models the same? Are there any changes that are significant if so?

thanks

Ok, so all suspension parts are the same, thus all aftermarket parts as well?

Your safest bet would be to find the parts diagrams for 2013 and 2016 and compare the part numbers. For parts that are the same but with different numbers, Ford usually notes that a part number has been super-ceded. Also, check the part numbers for aftermarket parts - they should be the same.

Any idea where I can find that?
And did you get 4.30 gears with your ordered truck?

Are you after a lift kit? They are gas or diesel spring rates for the most part unless you find progressive rate or coil overs. Front coils will be different rates for snow plow packages. The rear I believe may be stiffer with depending if a camper package. Depending on gvwr there might be helper springs. The suspension design is the same though. I installed 4.30s, most dealer lots will only have 3.73s

Ok, lift kits won't matter. 11 thru 16 will fit. Best to call the company and ask for your application. That will get you the correct kit and any additional parts.
