Is there any way to do this?

I know the older FSeries had provisions for this.....

 

I guess if you made your own brackets and went with custom sized shocks you could. But I'm not sure you'd actually see any benefit from it.

 

Ok, guess the SuperDuty's aren't set up like the '73-'79s then.......

What is the most HD shock I can buy for my L99 F350 Dually 2wd?

I've looked into the coil-over overload shocks, but THEY don't seem to be available either...

 

As long as you're not looking for any lift or additional weight carrying capacity, then going with a premium type shock will generally give you a better ride.

I've had good luck with KYB & Gabriel premium shocks. I've tried Bilsteins. The ride was decent, but not better than the Gabriel Max Control and the Bilsteins were more expensive.

I've also tried some adjustable Rancho shocks that were decent, but that was during an experiment to find something that would fit my truck better after a leveling kit and I ended up blowing the shocks out due to them not quite fitting right.

I would advise against a leveling kit though. If you want it taller up front, get custom springs to raise it. Blocking the coils makes ride quality suffer.

 

I'm not looking to lift or level. I'm just trying to get this cupping problem I'm having to stop.

I've had it aligned twice by a HD truck shop, they say there is nothing wrong with my front end parts.

It just keeps cupping the tires on the outsides mostly, but some on the insides as well.

 

Rick - How much tire pressure are you running

 

And how often do you rotate the tires? And what kind of tread pattern is it? My truck is hard on all terrain tires. I have to rotate them all the time to keep things decent. The smaller the tread gets, the more often I need to rotate.

Ford has a long, long history of chewing up front tires with a twin I beam suspension.

It's actually gotten better. Used to be you had to buy new front tires every 30k or so because they got messed up so bad.

 

Cupping is caused 99.9% of the time due to ball joints, even if the aligment shop said they are ok once you remove them you will see how flimsy and wobbly the ball joints are. I suggest you replace both upper and lower ball joints and run your tires at 55 psi, ive had great succes with the fleet at that PSI, and ball joint replacement(mostly every 100k).
God luck.

 

Also check your radius arm bushings and I beam bushings, the rubber on them are only good for 100k too.
