BTW the shock mounts are from leaf spring Superdutys. The passenger side was the easy side. I just drilled 3 holes and put 3 bolts in.
Now the driver side was a bit tricky because of the steering gear box plus the frame is angled right there. The top 2 holes I was able to use bolts and I just drilled and tapped the bottom hole. I also had to use washers to shim the shock mount so it would sit square with the frame.

coil spring front get hop that bad?

Yes they do. Doubling up the front shock cures the hop. ALA,s and 4 links also eliminate the hop.

Somehow I have missed this thread. Cool stuff man, you get it up and pulling soon.

Awesome build! I dig the shock setup too, clean and simple.

And yes they hop BAD stock, not to derail, but I havent seen any other videos so i'll share mine from last weekend. I put a 4-link on Friday and pulled again yesterday and wheel hop is entirely cured now. Look forward to seeing yours in action!

Rubenk how low does the 4link bracket sit on a stock height truck? I've been looking to upgrade my 2011 but the PMF website says it sits low on factory height.

Mine is factory height F250, i'd say maybe a few inches lower than the factory radius arm sticks out?

Thanks for the picture. The lower link looks about level, so that's not bad.
