05 f250 6.0 truck. I got them cheap. Like 700 including gas to go get them. Came with everything but trac bar mount radius arm mount and coil buckets. My biggest concern is I thought I didn't need the buckets but after more research it appears with stock coil buckets the coils won't stand straight.

Who knows... Lol. I'll prolly lower the coil buckets put 4" superduty coil springs. Fab radius arm mounts. Fab trac bar brackets on the back I'll just have to get new blocks and u bolts. I'm afraid if I go too big I won't be able to get drive shafts. These axles are huge I'll definitely have to get conversion joints and shorten the shafts. Not sure of the tire and wheel set up yet but prolly run like 37s on 20s. But being the truck isn't registered right now when it's completed it'll be sittin on stock 17s with 265s. Lol. It has a bad distributor right now and prolly out of gas. (wouldn't crank earlier). So I'll have to get both of those too. It has 3.73 ls now I won't mess with those for the time being. The front needs axle seals. I guess that's what they are. Before I run them I'll also have to change the fluid. And get caps for the auto hubs vac line.

Well. I got the superduty coil buckets and radius arm mounts off the donor truck. Also have the factory trac bar mount and steering stabilizer. I've decided I'm going to swap the rear end first then have a shaft built. The. Start on the front. Progress pics should be coming soon then I'll start a build thread.
