Hello Trickster and welcome to Overland Bound!View attachment 212803View attachment 212804View attachment 212805
Hi there, Trickster here. My first thought was to upgrade my 1999 7.3L / ZF-6 to 2008 F550 coil suspension.
As I researched the pros and cons I realized that the 1999 F350 frame was not reinforced to accommodate new stress point that the radius arms place behind the existing rear mount of the front springs.
So I bought a 2006 F550 2wd with a bad trans to stand up to the rigors that I will be putting this rig through.
As much as I love my 1999 with the legendary 7.3, the manual trans and electrically actuated NP273 transfer case, I need a better option for the purpose that this rig will be engineered to serve.
I will post progress pics in the appropriate section of the Forum so that whomever is interested can follow my progress.
Thanks.
