You got ...

Fabtech & Full Traction that make 8" kits

Or

You can find yourself a 2005-2007 front axle and get all the factory brackets to bolt it in and use a 05-07 lift kit off the self.

We just did a 2002 F250 and put a brand new hub to hub 05-07 axle under it using a Rize 12" 4-link kit. Of course we went alittle over board with the build but you get my point. Here is a pic.






When looking at a swap like this you need to look at what you are going to be using the truck for. If you under build it you will need to re do it. If you want just ride and 8" is good for you then use one of the bolt on swap kits. If you plan on doing some crazy stuff then spend the money on the parts to make sure the truck drives straight.

Yo Nick!

It was your web site that inspired me to get my truck in it's current state. All the F250's that you have modified are sweet! Ok, I have an 06 F-250. I had the 6" Pro Comp installed with 35x 18 Kumhos. It was stiff and the tires were loud. Anyway, I came across your work and I went out and bought a set of 22" Diesels and some Pirelli ATR's and the truck rode nice. It was rubbing slightly at full lock so I had the local shop put the spacers in to get the clearance. It looks awesome and rides great on pavement but 4 wheeling is less than fun in it's current state. I may just remove the spacers and do some trimming and maybe get some better shocks for now.
Hey very nice work Nick. I wish I lived in N.Ca

Scott

Thanks Scott.

You know it might be the best bang for the buck to try a set of Bil5100's. I sometimes use Procomp kits but always upgrade the shocks to Bilsteins for a better ride. Just something to throw out.
