Bolted up the passenger beam and sat thruck on its own weight...not low enough. So I removed the swaybar mount/spacer and built my own lower coil seat with .25" plate.
F150(no sway bar) vs F250(sway bar mount)
My .25" coil seat
Then I started the rear...
Pulled the 5 lug 8.8 out and slid the 8 lugger under the truck and over the springs. Bolted it down and set pinion angle and burned the perches in.
Ended up making new rear brake lines and replacing the brake hose.
The flip left me with about 3" not including the bump stop....might be a touch too low for pulling a trailer..I am going to remove the stock bumpstop bracket and use a low profile bumpstop bolted directly on. If its still to close, Ill add one more leaf.
The 1/2 ton master pushing on the huge dual piston calipers is not making the "brake pressure differential valve sensor" happy. The brake light flickers when I jab the pedal.
Scrounged up some more 8 lug rollers to put on because I was dying to see it on all four wheels
Looks like the 225/75s should clear well considering it half ass clears the 235/85 on the driver front.
New Lugs
Just waiting on wheels to come back now, then it is alignment time!
The Dingo is getting tired of these back to back late nights in the shop..
