2wd '99 front suspension oddity

I have a '99 F250 2wd V10. While changing the oil for the first time yesterday, I noticed something strange on the front I-beam arms. Under the spring perch about 4 inches, there is a 1 inch diameter "pin" that is sticking out. Is this normal? Should these be tapped back in? Is the front end about to collapse? I can take a picture if it would help. Thanks.

With out seeing it I would guess it is the steering stop pin and it is normal for it to be sticking out. Have someone cut the wheels all the way to one side and see if it hits the steering knuckle.

My 99 had that also. I think it's a point for jacking.

It is a jacking point. See page 157 of the 1999 F250 owner's manual, or page 162 of the 1999 F250/350/450/550 owner's manual.

Cool, I'll look it up. Gave me quite a bit of paranoia.
