Just bought a 05 f550 4x4 crewcab w 11' utility bed. The truck is running 44.5 kumho on 22.5 alcoa rims. The front is leafsprings and drop shackles and springs and blocks on the rear. Shocks are procomp 36" with 4" travel. going to sell lift and tires and lower truck. How do you measure to figure the lift on the spring and what points do you measure the shackes? Have someone interested in lift but don't know how to go about measuring to find out how much lift is there. bought off dealer and in need of help. Any information welcomed.
They put a 04 under it to get the lift. Found originial super 60 and linkage. They install lift when new and never used the super 60. 37,000 miles on it now new heads with studs, turbo, egr valve . Once i get all the parts to switch then will start selling. Waiting for it to come out of fla.
Going to put fab tect 6" lift under it. So far there the only ones that i can find that makes one for f550. Has anyone heard of any other companys that make one or any info on fab tects systems.
was thinking $1,000 for rims and tires 90% tread or more. will sell adapters for $800. that's not including shipping. also spring packs $800 with drop shackles. hope those prices are fair or make best offer.
Sorry, $1,000 per rim/tire. Tire new is $770, rim $450 new in my neck of the woods. Also looking for heavy duty tie rod ends dot dosen't like mine. Having hard time finding replacement were i live and not finding anything on net. 22mm threads x 16mm x 8.5" long is what parts store's gauge said.
Let you know when they come off. Waiting for the guy to get the front end shipped been a month but not pushing kinda of fun driving it. Local police are learning there bumper height and frame height law. 2ton truck has none with f plates and dot #.
Any ideas on lift other than fab tect? That that you might be able to use 1 ton lift parts but get higher spring ratings. No one seem to know when i ask around here. It will be daily service truck when done and like the fact that you"ll never see one lifted. People won't forget you and everything is tax right off that i do to it.
