I got them from Ford. They are actually F-250 2wd coil spring retainers. I ordered these for a '99 F-250 2wd.

Thanks. The hood isn't done, it is just in primer.

You should be able to use a lot of this info to help in your build.

This is how my truck sat from Sunday to today. It was shameful and no fun not being able to drive it.

By bye A/T's, hello M/T's! I love these tires and I have only driven on them about 60 miles. They have 0 road noise, can't wait to try them out in the mud. They are knobby as all get out. For the price I paid for them ($741 out the door with lifetime rotation and balance), they will do awesome!

Looks good!
Just curious, what are you gonna do about gearing when you get a 4.0?

I have no earthly idea. I will probably take the 4.56's out and swap with someone for 4.10's; the 4.56's will be a little much.

I think the 4.0 swap will be pushed off until I can find a donor; that and I am going in the Army Reserves, so I will be gone for about 3 months.

Haha that's simple, just get bigger tires! :icon_thumby:
