Message: [QUOTE="gnxtc2, post: 1469922, member: 1414"] The reason you are twisting the front shackles is due to the spring pack. Since the D50 is a so called "independent" suspension (TTB50 = POS), the leaf pack is preventing the leafs from twisting. The shackles are absorbing the twisting action. The design of the POS TTB50, the leafs not only go up/down, they have to resist the twisting/arc of the TTB arms. The F250 springs are thicker than the F350 springs. How often do you replace ball joints? The upper ones are at an extreme angle. :shocked::shocked::shocked: The top spring is the F250 one. Bottom is the F350 one. Notice the thickness in the leafs. The bottom leaf in each pack is an add-a-leaf; the top leafs are the OEM leafs. [ATTACH=full]172733[/ATTACH] As others have stated, get yourself a D60. A D60 will bolt right in. You can get rid of the drop brackets and go with a set of lift springs. If you want it to ride nice, then go with a RSK with SD springs. There's plenty of info here on this subject. How much lift are you looking for? 3" Sky Manufacturing RSK with SD "V" code fronts, "C" codes in the back with 5" traction blocks with 285 tires.
