'05 SD going coil sprung. . .

I saw that for '05 the SD is getting a coil sprung D60. This got me to thinking. I know the 2wd SD's still use TIB front suspension with the same coil spacing as the 80-96 trucks. Anyone know if ford will just be using the 2wd frame or at least the same coil spacing? If it's the same coil spacing then all i have to do is wait for people to start wrecking '05+ SD's. By the time i'm out of college they oughta be around.

If not the same coil spacing, maybe the factory ford coil mounts and such will create an alternative to the $1700 SAS kits for the TTB trucks. One can only hope. . .

I saw a few of the 05 trucks (New Harley Davidson SD included) at the Ford Product Dev. Center last week. One thing that you need to see is the size of the radius arms. They are freaking huge! The one thing that I didn't look for was a track bar, I would assume that it is still there.

On the 99-04 SD's, there is no 2wd or 4wd frame, it's the same piece(Ford only has 1 part #, all boltholes for both front suspensions are there.)
Dunno about the 05's yet of course...
