Message: [QUOTE="4 Wings, post: 240987, member: 1965"] rollingthunder: If you use wheel spacers, towing heavy loads will move the load point further out on your wheel studs and make your truck have a different cornering radius. You'll need more room to turn into a parking spot with spacers. That's 1 reason why rear axles have narrower overall widths than front axles do on SRW trucks. I checked the door tags on all the cab and chassis trucks we have. Ford called them in-complete vehicles rather than cab and chassis on the tags. There are 2 OBS trucks, a 97 and a 95. The others are 99's. All have the wider 41 3/4" frames. Ford introduced the light duty F-250 in 98. Ford renamed the F-250 with 7.3L diesel and all F-350's with the Super Duty name beginning in 99, though they are still in the light duty truck class. The 97 down Super Duty's were all F-450 and F-550 medium duty trucks. At any rate, the air spring system over leaf springs can be seen in the photo. The tires are further away from the leaf spring in the SRW 37" frame photo due to the different back spacing dually rims use vs. rims used for single rear wheel axle trucks. The dually rim and tire run closer to the spring, but the spring center is the same as a SRW F-150 thru F-350 92-97 truck axle has. I hope Jakey will reply with model year info. I have seen cab and chassis trucks owner manuals, unfortunately the ones we have didn't come with any. Wondering if in-complete vehicles got different frames than a Cab and chassis model or if there was a change in frames during production? :confused: :popcorn: [/QUOTE]
