Ford F250 sagging up front

[HGM]

I've had pretty good luck with 4wheel parts , this link is for your bushings...

As long as you have it apart, do a complete front bushing set. Do the springs and hangers, sway bar ect. There are also some bushings where the IFS bolts/pivots on the truck frame. Check those. As long as you're doing the work and have 1/2 apart, it would be worth at least looking at those.

Get some good penetrating fluid. Hit every nut and bolt on that front end every night for a week. Some of those bolts can be a bear.

While the spring shop is at it, an extra leaf would probably help. That diesel is pretty heavy up there.

This does sound like a TBN work party... 4 or 5 people could get this going pretty quick. A couple under the truck, a couple handing wrenches and advice, someone handling the bbq and beverages /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Have to meet twice though. One saturday to tear it apart, and the next saturday to put it back together after getting the springs back /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks for all the advice guys. Robert, your right, I checked these links and without a doubt a new complete bushing set is in order. Now, when can I afford to be without my truck?

That's the tricky part... I had mine done the first time. It was at the shop for two days; one to tear down and send the springs out, one to get them back, reinstall, and align. The second time around, I did the straight axle; that took me a week, but I was also doing other stuff to the truck at the same time.

Getting the springs out and back in is pretty simple. Doing the pivot bushings will take a while.

Plan it for sometime in a couple weeks. I'll come give you a hand.
