Hi all,
I recently came across some axles out what was left of some 1986 F350s, one with the SRW Sterling 10.25 rear axle, and the DRW had a Dana 60 front axle.
I bought them with the plan of doing a solid front axle swap to my late model F150, converting to a leaf spring front suspension. I’d like to stick to a conventional crossover or high steer arrangement.
The big manufacturers (skyjacker, super lift, etc.) don’t make any 1986 F350/monobeam kits larger than 10", none seem to make a more extreme drop pitman arm and none make a drop pitman arm for the 2000 F150 steering box, so I’m going to have to swap it for a box that does have a drop pitman arm available.
Little problems like this are cropping up as I’m searching for stuff to make this happen. I can see it all in my head…I just don’t know who to go to for lift parts that are outside the major manufacturers.
If anyone’s been there/done that (especially with a '97 to '03 F150) any advice, gotchas, or manufacturer links of people that do >10" leaf spring lifts would be humbly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
