Its time to upgrade the suspension, and I think that I'm going to do f-250 springs all around, and I would like to do drop brackets up front. So I was just wondering if there was a place I could order just the brackets? I only want to fit 33's so I figure 2-4" in the front; 4-6" in the back. I will also be making custom ladder bars as well. Thanks!
If you only want f250 springs that'll gain 2" and you won't need any drop brackets. Any more then that and you need the axle pivot drop brackets, extended radius arms or drop brackets along with a longer pitman arm and of course the springs. Much cheaper to buy a 4" lift kit then to buy all pieces seperate.
What I want is payload and a 4" lift, that's why I want the f250 springs at least in the rear. I just don't want to buy a lift and then have all the components for the rear just laying around. So pretty much what I want to buy is a 4" lift for the front and spring packs for the rear.
Then the only part out of a lift kit will be the rear blocks, there aren't any other components for the rear. That being said I think a rough country lift is about $500 for the full kit, I'd try checking out summit or bronco grave yard and pricing out the seperate drop brackets but I doubt you'll be able to get them all cheaper then the entire kit.
Also while you have the front tore down get a new adjustable camber you gonna need it. I found out after the front end was realigned but tires are leaning in at the top some so got to go back in to replace mine.
