The distances from the diff to the spring mounts are the same because they bolt up to each other and the springs are the same.

Just 2" extra outside the spring mount on each side.

Just make sure you never get a cab and chassis rear end there different from cab and box rear ends.Cab and boxes are wider.

F350 front springs are actually not as stiff.
Yeah cause my high boy has way diffrent springs then a TTB, and they aren't as stiff as TTB springs. Love the solid front axles.

YOU SLIMEY SONNA BLEEP

LOL!

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW... I was going to buy that truck! I called him as well, Lary i think his name was, and was interested in some parts myself, particularly the door panels! Grrrrrr! LOL! I live in the West valley of Phoenix. I was interested in the wheels too, and the price seemed really flexible with him.. I think he is tired of it sitting around his place. Sadly, I didnt around to getting out his direction with all the work I have going on, so my loss your gain! Way to go!

Hey, if you want a deal on those hubs, for $90, I can hook you up with a guy down here that has them. I came across them a week ago, and they are in great shape. Just needs to brake rotor.

I have a few that I kept ahold of for parts, it never hurts! LOL! But I am glad to have been a help! If you come across anything that gives you trouble, give a shout!

aaaaaaaaaaaaah, is the interior grey? I need a drivers side door panel like serious style! This thing is driving me nuts! where the interior window wiper seal mounts to the door panel is all broken all the way across, so everytime i lift the window, the seal pops up and rides the window. And then i push it back down and if I roll the window all the way down, the little metal feet on the wiper seal scratch on the top of the window glass and make a screeching noise. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!! Guess that's what I get for letting someone else work on my truck... (body damage repair from PO) so unhappy with it... ugh... gimme a beer

If you are looking for the manual window door panels.. That I can help with! LOL! I am sick of looking at them!

I never paid much attention to color. in a perfect world where parts are never ending, then I would get more concerned! LOL! I use a vinyl dye or coating to match my grey interior on parts. So far in the few years I have had my truck, no chipping, fading or cracks. Even when I spill my coffee daily on the dash, because I am not cool and have those awesome split bench seats with center console and drink holders! LOL!
