I beams

Post by AustinTom »

Can F-250 I-beams and springs be bolted to a F-100 frame?

Yes, they'll fit...but I'm pretty sure the pivot bolts are a little larger in diameter, so you'd have to slightly widen the holes in the pivot bracket, just enough to use the larger bolts. It's been a while since I checked, so I could be wrong though. I do though that this is the case when using F250 rear springs on an F100. I'm using F250 springs in my F100 (with a couple leafs removed) and I had to widen out the holes in the frame brackets.

Like I said, I don't recall completely, but I'm thinking they were the next size up, which would've been 1/16" larger.
