05-07 Suspension VS 08-10 Suspension

[kanuck15]

I have been reading and looking around. Cant seem to find any pictures or real description of why they are different lifts or parts? Can anyone point me in the right direction to look? From what I see they are the same but there are different part numbers between the 05-07 and 08+ trucks

Basically what it boils down to is I am looking to do a coil spring swap. I can get the bracketry for an 08+ easier than for an 05-07. But I can get an 05-07 axle easier. Will all this mesh together right???

The trac/ panhard bar bracket is probably the only nonuseable part from the 08 up trucks.

Got ya. I posted this on nation also. Cary T said its all the same as far as I am concerned. I would venture to say I could use the 08 trac bar but I would have to move my mount for it. Either way thats a small difference

Cant use the track bar bracket.

 

[Layson]

Yes you need the 05 track rod bracket.... I would probably go with the 08 steering box too if you can.

Considering Ive got an OBS I am ready to do some fab and whatnot.

My main concern was the coil buckets and the radius arm mounts

Keep in mind that the leaf springs were changed in 08, so that's what the separation in lift kits is all about.

As far as your concerned joe, use what ever u can and u will be fine. If u need help finding stuff I know where 3 complete swaps sit at this moment

 

[kanuck15]

Well I found a way to buy all the brackets new from ford. So I am going to whittle away at buying them and then find the axle when I decide to do it. Ive already got the coils and the radius arms

 

[FrankTheTank]

I'm sure I can ship them to u piece by piece cheaper then new, way cheaper. These are already off the frame

 

[kanuck15]

Well all I need are buckets and mounts. PM me a price without shipping. I may wait till Carlisle since they are weird sized parts to pick them up

 

[FrankTheTank]

Will do.

I have a bunch of 2006 suspension parts for sale. Sandblasted and painted

 

[kanuck15]

I may be interested if the price is right. My truck budget is tight so I am trying to nickle and dime the small pieces while I can and save my change for the axle. Thats why buying them from ford seemed to be the best option as I can spend a bit at a time

I can sell them to you part for part. I dont mind at all

 

[kanuck15]

Well let me know what you have and what you want for them. Who knows if the price is right I could probably buy them all at once
