Axle width
Can someone please do me a huge favor and tell me what the measurement between the spring mounting pads is on an F250 or F350. I need to know if its the same as the spacing on an axle from a van.

I can tell you this, the van does not fit a pickup. Also if it is a cab and chasis truck the pickup axle wont fit either. Pickup axles are 3 inches longer than Cab and Chasis trucks. Vans are a little wider than that.

Are you talking mounting pads or backing plates? I measured an F150 to be about 45.75" center to center for the mounts and the van axle to be about 49". The backing plates were the same distance apart at about 58".
