Leveling kit for d250

[bigblacksport]

anybody have a leveled d250(2wd) ive looked around but didnt find much ....thanks

New stock MOOG springs (the heavy duty ones) will usually bring the front up a couple inches. If your tires are up inside the fenderwells, the springs are worn out. A stock 2wd CTD will sit an inch or two lower than a 4x4 1/2ton.

Moog 7226s will get the front end up.

My D350 has new springs on the front and it sits almost 3" higher then my D250 with factory 425xxx mile springs.

I ordered Moog 5716s for the 93 about a month ago. They are heavier than the 7226 springs. Went to pick them up today at NAPA, and they had for me...coil springs for a ford tempo. How do you get ford tempo springs out of "MOOG 5716S" wrote clearly on a piece of paper?? Not sure, but still waiting on the correct springs. I will measure before and after ride height once I finally get all the parts together and installed.

What about these from NAPA? NCP 2773276 They are listed as Sever Duty for 3/4 2WD Dodge trucks with a Cummins. they are a little more than than the MOOG springs I saw on Ebay. Any opinoins?

[Remps]

What is the coil diameter of those springs? I think the 7226 is about .901", and the 5716 is about .931". I don't remember the exact diameter, but those numbers are pretty close. The 7226 is around 1100 lbs per inch, the 5716 is around 1400 lbs per inch.

All I know is neither would hold long on THIS wheelbase. Nevermind the RoadGrader on the bed:

Okay, how about RoadChicken?

FWIW, it is/was a 69-1/2 6 Barrel car, with a 4 speed, and it was in fact Red, or Dark Orange, depends on your view of colors.
If you like that sort of thing, I think the owner was wanting to off it.

If I wanted to waste $$$, though, I could build 2 nice 4x4 Cummins 5 speed trucks for what that PILE would sell needing restored.
Actually, it's not THAT bad of a car, but my $$$ are better spent elsewhere, like bills and Property Taxes.

Zack, anything Napa pretty much has is re-boxed and they slap their brand name and $$$ on it.
