Title: New Truck Pics
Post by: Mr442 on February 18, 2010, 07:05:09 PM
Brought it home last night, grabbed some pics this evening after work.

Ford went to coil springs in the front, and it does ride a tad better, in spite of having the snow plow prep which includes heavier front springs.  This one sets level, which I attribute to the previously mentioned springs, the old truck had a forward rake.  It also steers much nicer with this suspension.  No bump steer like I had with the leaf spring set up in the old truck.  Since this one has a few more options than the old truck, I think we are going to be very happy together. :smitten:

Sweet. Is it a 150? Looks to be a 250 or 3 but I cannot see the badging.

It's a 250 Super Duty.

I almost went with a 150 just to cut rate the whole deal, but better thoughts came to the front and I went back with what I had, and needed.
