Can someone out there with a late model (2005 onwards? ) F250 4x4 with factory coil front suspension help me?
I am using all the front end suspension components for a conversion project in Australia and need to know how long the front coil is when compressed under normal load, ie just as the truck is sitting there, what is the length of the coil? I need to know so I can set up the height of the top coil mount. We never got any of these models in Australia so can't find one to check. Thanks!

Try The Diesel Stop. That is a Ford site. This is a Dodge site.

Good luck!

Thanks Pauly, guess you're right! I joined this forum because I'm keen to learn about the cummins engine, might have to join an F-series forum as well!

I understand that, I joined for the same reason!

Check out Diesel Truck Resource also. I think that's the best Cummins site on the net.

Pauly,
I also figured there would be members who own F-series with cummins! I'll check out the diesel truck resource site as well.
thanks again!

There are a couple F- series conversions and even an Excursion conversion on DTR.

By the way, I have access to an '06 F-350 4x4 with the Powerstroke (my brother's truck) if you have other questions. I would have helped you out with this question but it has a 4" lift.

i have no idea if your year is the same as the new Fords,but Carli suspension now makes a bolt on kit that will allow use of a coil over and bypass set up for the new superduties.

thanks Bob & Pauly, check out the link to some pics.

here are pics of the conversion I have only recently started, i'm not converting an fseries to coil but a toyota coaster bus, not sure if these ever made it to the US? Think I have solved the length question, the wrecker that i bought the parts from had a complete '07 F250 4x4chassis sitting there so I measured the length and could see that the shock was sitting about 60mm higher than the usual ride height (by the clean / dirty areas of the shock) so took 60mm of the measurement.
