Why did ford go with coils in the front of their superduty's?? Yea the D-60 is nice a change of the D50. But why coils... Not on a 3/4 ton vehicle!
The 2 link looks tought but...

So 20 years down the road we can snatch radius-armed d60s from junkyards. :D

Better ride and tighter steering radius. I believe it knocked around 5 feet out of it's turning radius. That's HUGE! If only I could find that front end and throw it under mine!! :D

So you don't piss blood after driving to the store.

The 60's are also 35 spline as well. My girlfriends parents are picking an 05 F-250, 4x4, Diesel, blah blah blah...this weekend. Can't wait to drive it around.
