Just FYI, 97-98 they were F-250 LD's then in '99 they got re-branded as a F-150 7700.

honestly not really its one of those things you just need to keep an eye on and be prepared when something fails to fix it. You'll hear the hubs squeak over bumps and in general when it's time for them to go. And the rear, you'll see fluid leak around the outer ends when it's time to replace the seals / bearings

yeah get used to it. These trucks aren't a big fan of offset. I'm at a total of -120.2mm right now
