[QUOTE="Back woods, post: 1481325, member: 28164"] Recently did this with one of my F350s, has 315 Duratracs that were rubbing even with 4" lift. Basically I copied the ORD zero rate design, truck is a 2001 BTW. Anyways, the max a stock axle can be moved forward without relocating the trackbar etc is 1". At 1" there are some clearance issues with the front diff and track bar mount. Nothing that cant be ground down to clear. The very top center diff cover bolt needs to come out to clear the engine cross member. It is basically a 1" block so I pulled a few leafs from the lifted front pack to give it stock lift/better ride. Right now the truck sits lower than stock with 315 Duratracs. With the front axle moved forward it clears lock to lock with only a little rub on the leaf springs at lock. Love the look, everyone thinks its about to smash into the fenders when I pull into somewhere with the wheels cranked, never does.
