How big are the axles on an F250? I only ask because...Check out the mounts for superduty rear traction bars.. I'm not holding my breath this would work, but it certainly looks to have potential with what I want to do.

Matt, you didnt answer my question , do you actually need the traction bars ?

a full leaf spring setup helps w/ axel wrap anyway

If you get a new leaf pack, are you gonna sell your old ones?

To my knowledge, no I don't I can't say I have ever experienced axle wrap with any of my setups. These are all just things I have wanted for a while, now they are things I want to make work together!

i can see that working as long as you get a hold of the superduty axles and just measure that out. Then would have to fab up something to the frame

I was thinking about trying to get a hold of just the rear axle connections from a superduty trac bar set (probably a chore in itself..). the trac bars for the F150 just use a new block type thing through the Ubolts on the bottom of the axle.

Thats up in the air still... They are a 4" leaf pack (according to deaver) but I got 6" of lift out of them..? I asked deaver about this when I had them on the phone and they couldn't explain it. I know they where installed correctly, I installed them! once they gave more than 4" of lift I tore it apart again and there is only one way to put them in there so I have no clue how they gave 6" of lift but they did

what that sounds like is you ended up with a 6inch leaf pack and they messed up

Haha yeah I remember that thread with that good picture of your truck looking like the titanic... Let me a know a price if you get new ones, I would be able to run these with a 2" block.

That is what I think too, I love the ride and flex the deavers have; but have had hell with that company. First trying to get these leaf packs took 2 months, now I want bigger and they won't build anything over 6".

IOR- I'll let ya know when the time comes. If you go that route I may have to buy those Rize blocks off ya
