Just finished meh 2wd to 4wd conversion of. Meh 2001 f350 dually
Started life as a sled..pulled for many years..but got tired of scrapping all the bumps..
Purdy straight forward...if you have all the parts. I'm sure this has been done but just wanted to post to reassure others on how easy it is..
I scored a full front end with all the brackets needed.. Guy cut the frame at the cab which gave me all I needed.
Basically it's a full bolt on party all but getting the 2we coil buckets off..I used a plasma cutter and then a air chiseled the rivets out.
But all in all a bolt on job



Here is the cut frame I scored..then what I started with...a 2wd pig..then pulled the twin I beam out and started bolting on the goods

Now I used f450 front leafs with a 2" leveling kit, and 5" blocks in the rear . Sitting perfect with a small rake

What if you used the 2wd coil springs with a leveling spacer? The spring perches are flat aren't they?

Anything is possible, but I wanted it done correctly and in one day..and I wanted to keep in line with the 2001 suspension
This whole swap took around 8 hours with some BS'N and beer drinking
