Message: [QUOTE="EddieS, post: 934182, member: 14653"] This thread has been dead for a year, but I'm new here, so I'd like to see if there's any more information. About me: I'm a retired firefighter/paramedic, former 0311, and both my dad and uncle are Border Patrol retirees (1971-1998). I was born and raised on the Texas/Mexico border (BP duty station areas). Been living in southeastern New Mexico since junior high. Had 4x4s nearly all my life. My dad's PAIC would often allow him to take me on trips into the back country in the Ramcharger. Pretty sure that's where I got my love for 4x4s... That, and of course Lone Wolf McQuade! Have a '96 FZJ80 Land Cruiser, that's been passed to my daughter, and an '07 F250 6.0 FX4. I have a great appreciation for what the agents need in their vehicles, and if I'm going to throw some money into my suspension, I'd like it to be something that's been tested and passed by the agents themselves. Their lives (and ours) seriously depend on good equipment. Which is why I'd like something that they put on the F250s and F350s. From the pics--and what I can tell by Google--it looks like birdco85's pics show Bilstein coils and shocks. I couldn't find any Bilstein limiting straps, though. And not many in blue, except for Kartek. Are those Bilstein coils? And Kartek straps? Or something else? And it does look like the original radius arms and brackets. Do they use the original track bar? Or an aftermarket? Is there any alteration to the rear springs, like extra leaf packs, or F350 blocks on the F250s? Based on the VIN, if it came with 5600# front coils, that sounds like the camper package, with the rear sway bar (which my truck has). Thanks in advance for any info! -Eddie Thanks in advance for any info [/QUOTE]
