Frame comparison
Whats the difference in strength of the overall frames from a F150-250-350?
Reason I ask is I was thinkink on putting a solid front axle in my 1995 4x4, along with leaf springs for a lift kit from a F250.

The 3/4 ton and 1 ton frames are the same, strength wise. Both are considerably stronger than a 1/2 ton frame.
There's a ton of information out there (check out the fsb forum) on converting to a leaf-sprung solid axle. You have to do some welding to mount the front spring hangers though. It can definitely be done.
