Dunno about the newer ones but whenever I looked over a 3/4 ton ford, it has this odd-ball front dana 50 half assed axle.

The one ton had the high pinion dana 60.

Independent front suspension on a heavy duty truck makes zero sense to me, so chevy was out.

Nowadays, ford runs a dana super 60 front axle. That's some overbuilt stuff right there.


Even one ton leaf packs, I added an extra leaf to the front end. Flat bed, full length crew cab utility-rack and 6 steel cargo boxes, the rear spring pack was upgraded to f-550 springs. The f-350 springs were not enough.

Coil springs on a dodge rear axle? That's some urban-cowboy bullsht right there!
