Suspension Help...
Ok, coming up with ideas for my 68 F-250, been looking in some magazines and doing some thinking...
I know I want to swap in an independent front suspension, and I'm considering swapping in some sort of multilink in the rear. Anybody done these?
Right now it's a stock height F-250, hopefully drop it 4" or so. I've heard about using a Mustang II suspension, can anybody shed some light on that?
Anybody had any experience installing a 4-link kit on one of these trucks?
I'm not even into the planning stages of the project yet, just gathering ideas. Any help appreciated.

Go to the '48 to '60 forum, read the sticky on front suspension conversions. Although these are earlier trucks, most of the info is useful for later trucks. IMO the Mustang II front end is too light for newer trucks. I put one in a '40 Ford, but that truck only weighed 2750 lbs. I like a front-end that is strong enough for me to continue using a truck as a truck.

you might be interested in the rear suspension i used on my truck. it is still being built but you can see in my gallery how nice a jag rear looks under one of these trucks. and since ford owns jag i guess i could still say its all ford?
