My truck being 2wd, DRW...do I use the same springs? I really want to get a better ride out of mine!
Approximately how long did it take you for the swap including shocks. I use my truck daily and actually go home for just the weekend every 2-3 weeks. Truck looks great! btw!
It's been raining a lot lately...even hampering the races in Joliet, IL this weekend I need to clean my truck up and finally post up pictures. The funniest thing is that people think it's brand new. I've had 4 offers to buy this last month. People assume I paid $50K for it....uh...no.

So it the front as simple as pulling the old off and putting the new ones on? At the place where i work we just did a leveling kit on a 05' F250 So i can have the springs if i want em.

Ford started using coils up front in 2005 and ended the leaf sprung suspension in 2004. So yes, if the springs were front springs out of a 2004 F250/F350 you can absolutely use them in combination with a Reverse Shackle Kit, very nice ride.
