fun project
« on: November 30, 2010, 11:06:27 AM »
i know this isnt Aqua related but some may find this build interesting also, redoing the entire front and rear suspension on my '95 F150, working on the front now and the rear will come in a few more paychecks. i update regularly...

So your ditching the twin I beam and converting to a solid front axle?  Cool!   Thats why I love my Super duty 4X4 only heavy pickups made that still have solid front axles.  Besides the front end of my truck is so insanely heavy a IFS front end would have worn out by now!

Nice project Aswaff!

My grandfather was always a Ford man. If they were good enough for him then they're good enough for me.
