I have a 2012 f250 that’s lifted 6 inch. I’m trying to go back to stock height for the time being. I’m seeing a lot of 2020 plus stock suspension pull off. Do anyone know if the new model suspension fits the 11-16?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say no. Carli has 2 different part numbers for the rear springs for 11-16 and 17-24. Both with 2.5" axle tubes. That tells me that maybe leaf width or eye to eye measurements are different.
I'm not saying that with absolute authority. It's just that they don't have an 11- 24 leaf pack because "something" is different between years.

Thanks. I’m not to worry about the rear because that could be an easier swap out by the blocks and leaf spring.
I did some digging around and found that 11-24 have the same part number for the track bar bracket. I should be able to reuse that. A arm is where I’m unsure off and the coil springs.

A arm? A arms are on IFS trucks..The radius arms are same til 22 I believe. But that's if you've replaced them and want to go back. The rest is different. All you really need to change is springs, trackbar bracket, and pitman arm bracket. Probably a few hundred oem. I would look at buying a front level kit.... You might have to re-secure brake lines if you had extended length lines put on. They might hit somewhere you don't want them to otherwise.
