Houston 4x4 (7.3) suspension modifications

I am looking for someone in the Houston area that has made the front and rear leaf spring modifications on a 4 x 4 Ex (7.3 liter). I would like to visit privately with you and possibly see exactly what and how it was done. PM me. Thanks.

I did a complete spring swap. See if you can find a user by the name of Dunbar. He might be able to help you out.

Real name too.

I did V codes on the front and modified F codes on the rear. I had DI put them on.

I live in NW Houston between Tomball and Cypress. Shoot me a PM and I will give you my phone number for questions or to see the results.

This is a really simple mod ... check out my pictures using the link in my signature. No sense having a shop do the work if you can turn wrenches and have some free time on a weekend. I did mine by myself.

PM me if you need additional information .
