Just FYI F-150's and Broncos are 1/2 ton trucks and are so by virtue of the fact that the suspension, axles etc. are rated at the 1/2 ton capacity. Unless modified aftermarket, they are all 1/2 ton trucks. F-250's are 3/4 ton and 350's are 1 ton. They go up from there 450, 550, etc. but the jump is greater than a ton each time.
I know GM made what they called a "heavy half" years ago which was essentially a 1/2 ton truck with 3/4 ton springs under it. I am not aware that Ford did anything to counter that offer. I could be wrong.

My uncle had one of them heavy half, they sucked cause they had 3/4 springs but the axles were still 1/2 tons. He split the rear end hauling a 16' trailer loaded with hay, then he went back to using his old ford that had a 9"

I got the hubs and the conversion kit and was ready to install, but i didnt know i needed the spanner locknuut wrench. i can see that you can buy them for 25$, but is there a way to do the conversion with out this specific wrench? I was also wondering if there was anyone who lives in the northern virginia area that already has one and was willing to share for the instalation? Thanks
