    Need a new trans, looking for recommendations

    I don't think Ford sells the HD4R100 anymore, only the regular version. Anyone know if the regular is the same as the HD version they came out with, just shorter warranty (HD was 3 yrs i believe) and they dropped the HD designation? Does BTS take your money up front then you have to wait 6...

    2013+ steering gearbox in older trucks

    Agree if it's not using the larger bolts then it's likely not "newer" meaning the larger box. Also, isnt the sector shaft on the newer boxes larger? If so, i doubt they are machining it smaller. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    "newer box". Is it the same as a 2015 box, which is much larger? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Blue top steering box

    Another vote for BlueTop. I've had mine installed about 18 months. So far so good. I installed a 2016 gear in my 99. I originally bought a steering gear from the Ford dealer (they only sell rebuilt from China) and it had some play in it when I checked with dial indicator. I called Blue Top...

    10" lift 99 f250

    10" lift is a lot. Is it your intent to run 40" plus tires? You will probably have to lengthen your driveshafts and do some custom work to the center carrier bearing if your truck is so equipped. Lengthened brake lines. Maybe some custom work to the e brake cables. Probably a bunch of...

    2013+ steering gearbox in older trucks

    Why bother? Why not just use the Ford parts? Get the 11-16 upper and lower shaft and it works with the 99-04. Also get the firewall boot. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Axle comparison 08-10 F450 vs 11-14 F450

    If this is correct then i believe @Strokersace would be incorrect about being able to swap gears front and rear. Front would still be a yes since they are both Dana 60, but it sounds like the rears are different. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    99-04 Drag Link Upgrade

    Ball joints are a different component. I think you are referring to the tie rod ends and/or drag link. You usually can't go wrong with OEM products, though they usually cost more. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    6.5" lift down to 2.5" leveling kit

    Drop Pitman arm is not needed with a level kit And will likely result in weird steering. You will likely need something for the trac bar, but my guess is the Trac bar bracket will be too much drop. An adjustable trac bar is a much better option for a level kit. In order to avoid bump steer you...

    08-16 Rear Shock bolt size

    I am looking for the diameter of the upper and lower rear shock bolts for a 2008-2016 F250 or 350. I am not looking for guesses or I think it is this size, etc. Please only reply if you actually know. I am not looking for the numbers for 99-07 either. Thank you very much

    20% TO 40% OFF ON FORD OEM PARTS

    Hi everyone, I want to give a shout out to Sean Crawford and his crew at Sunrise Ford Parts. I have been working on converting my 99 to coils, the longer rear leafs and 2015 PS gear. I have needed a lot of parts and have made numerous inquiries of Sean. Many times I am looking for little...
