[QUOTE="brewer, post: 67749, member: 348"] My new-found about 2" more of suspension travel [IMG]http://powerstrokenation.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/IMG]: [ATTACH=full]65678[/ATTACH] Don't mind the zip-tied inner skirts, the PO put them in half-#%%ed and that's how they've been for now, soon to get adjusted and cleaned up under there. But being my DD I'm not worried about it too much for now. Overall, it took about 6.5 hours for the swap, but we were taking our time. I'd say it could be done in about 4-4.5. Sorry it's long, but had a bunch of pictures so I figured I'd share. In the end, it's WELL worth it. The ride is WAY better, it's almost like a whole new truck. Up until last week I didn't have my sway bar in, and I could notice a fair amount of body roll around corners, even completely empty. I used the Banks brackets [IMG]http://powerstrokenation.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://powerstrokenation.com/forums/images/smilies/handbang.gif[/IMG], part #48899 (brackets for a 460 with the Banks header kit). Big thanks to Diesel_Brad and Tom S for that info. Otherwise you must find stock brackets, which are very hard to find. I'll get some pics in the next few days, but they were easy to install, especially for trucks without the holes already drilled. Now that I have my sway bar in the truck handles great, tight around corners and really rides well. Well worth the investment for all of it. The truck now sits level, as well. I found some F-350 rear blocks for it at a junkyard but haven't put them on yet. I don't haul much these days so for now it works. DON'T FORGET NEW U-BOLTS. U bolts are torque-to-yield bolts, so cannot be re-used. I know I forgot some things that I meant to put in, but I'll add them if they come to mind. Just wanted to put in a few points that I couldn't find on other threads. [/QUOTE]
