I guess it is not feasible to get a 06 suspension for my 97.
Anybody know someone who can do an axle swap in the sacramento area?
I do not have the D60 yet..just trying to do research.
I want to put in a D60 but I do not have the confidence to do it myself.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks

Many people have done it themselves...I have watched one being done and it really isnt a hard job. If you get a D60 out of a ford it is a DIRECT bolt in. There are a lot of guys in the sac area that I am sure would be willing to help if you paid them in beer and diesel talk [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Sorry I don't know of anyone in the area to do the swap for ya but Im tellin ya, I think really could do it.
Well what do you consider Sac area?? I am south of Sac. I have swapped 1 ton axles under my F-150. The swap for you truck if you have all the parts would not take but 6-8 hours. All you need to do is find the parts and I will be more than willing to give you a hand. I know the parts you will need are:
D60
track bar and mounting bracket
350 springs and rear blocks
new u-bolts
steering linkage??
drive line though you can drive home with out it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
I think that is about it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

Dont forget the brake calipers and brake lines since there are differences between types of brakes certain years. (Bolt on calipers versus the pin type..)
