Nick - you may also want to check with a local shop that works on rear differentials. They should be able to remove that tube and weld in a new one if they have the appropriate fixture. Should check the axle on that side too. Good luck

Hey Nick. FYI: I had bad luck with my Pro-Comp springs sagging in less than 3 yrs....Superduty Powerstroke too. Watch for it and be prepared to remove and rebuild with stiffer add-a-leaf and re-arch. Mine turned into “W” s going over the axle.

Silly Question Nick, Did you happen to see if the center pin (Bolt) in the leaf spring may be broken the it may have shear in the accident causeing the axle to slip ahead in the mount .. I have seen it happen many many times .. someone thinking the axle tube is bad when it was just a broken pin

Great videos on the F350 you have been doing!!! I am waiting on hardware to arrive but I am getting ready to completely redo the front and rear end on my 02 Excursion 7.3L. I am doing wheel hubs, rotors, calipers, 4” lift with 2” pro comp front leaf springs and 2” leveling kit, f350 rear leaf springs with 2.5” blocks, bilstein shocks and steering stabilizers, and moog suspension complete front end replacement.

My Pro-Comp sag bad, in less than 3 yrs of use. So I added spring pack, the bushings went bad. My new fix & advice: having the Pro-Comp re-arched and an add-a-leaf to equal the raise I want. This will eliminate the spring pack. It will also keep the sag from returning. Plus: so I will add new tie rods, drop pitman, and adjustable track bar (why my bushings wore out)!!

I wish I coud help by locating that rear end you need. Question: And you very well may have mentioned this somewhere and I just didn't catch it. Why do need to raise the truck? Will you be offroading it? Just curious cause I see alot of VERY expensive pickups jacked up a lot. They are all way too clean to ever have gone offroad. So is it a style thing or a practical thing or just for fun? Thanks Paul

No buy an adjustable one. Sky manufacturing has some really nice ones. I'm actually getting ready to put on the skys adjustable one cuz I did their rsk kit on my obs which is a 2" leveling kit. Stock wont work nor fit on the obs(92-97) and even if it does your axle isnt gonna track right up n down.. 160 buy from sky direct. Same price quicker shipping. Good luck
