I used to with the Superduty. But haven't with the brand new '04 yet. I have leveled it and got the tires/wheels on. Just haven't had the big urge to dump it in the mud with 2600 on the ticker of my $40k truck.... Give it time and I will some.

I like to when there is a good place to go. Doesn't matter if it's mud, rocks or just out in the open prairie. Don't really like the sand but have gone from time to time. Sand gets into to many things and I got tired of changing rear-end and trans fluid all the time.

This is primarily a work truck. But I hope to be able to have some fun with it. My hopes are 35" tires, staright axle front. I am debating putting the 9" rear out of my other truck in it.I am looking for a 86 up D60 front axle. Any help or sujestions would be great.

hmm.... I"m confused, I though the f250s WERE a solid front axle.... I thought they were a D60 and had a 10.25 rear end? guess I was wrong..... changes are, you can fit 35s with minimal lift.
