OBS 05 AXLE SWAP! GOODBYE TTB!

[@jadenwaltonn8332]

Great video. I did this swap on my 96 crew cab f350. I just ended up using all the factory brackets for a 08 truck and modified everything to work just because I didn't have enough money to purchase a kit and I had some time to do the project. Love the way yours is looking. Can't wait to see more 👍🤘

Can you elaborate on this? I have a 2wd, i already have the transfer case and transmission, now looking at getting some 05+ axles, but swap kits are expensive

[@jadenwaltonn8332]

@turbospeedsc so I purchased the brackets from Ford. You can still buy them from Ford for an 08 superduty. Not to expensive either. I modified the track bar mount to work. You can do the same as well, but if the engine is in the truck, it's very hard to make it work. You need to massage the engine cradle to make the track bar mount work. Otherwise, it is very easy and cost-effective to do it this way. I even upgraded to an 08 gear box. Let me know if you need any more information. I can even send measurements and pictures to you

That front suspension setup looks awesome 👌🏼

[@Atomic_Diesel]

Thank you! I think the chrome pairs with the truck really well.

[@ROELKEY2442]

That’s a sharp looking truck! Subbed love good OBS content!

What gear ratio do most of the 05 up trucks have being that there all auto's? I have a 95 f250 7.3 5 speed flatbed would love to ditch the dana 50 but wanna keep my 4.10 as its a ranch truck with little highway use.

[@Atomic_Diesel]

They are 3.73, this truck had 4.10s and she was screaming for mercy at like 80 on the highway.

For the rear axle, was it pretty much a direct swap? I currently have a complete stock 1988 F250 4x4 and a planning on swap the front and rear with axles from a 2008. I've got a complete 08 chassis I'll be picking up. I don't want to lift it any higher than I have to. Also will be completing this complete by myself so please any details will be helpful.

[@Atomic_Diesel]

Yes it was a direct swap, just had to flip the rubber brake line from the frame down because the brake lines on the super duty axles were different threads on each side.

[@janhouston9831]

Would like to know about the headlights in the white truck are they smoke or clear and where did you get them they are the best looking ones I’ve seen

[@Atomic_Diesel]

They are clears from CPAddict! Thank you for watching!

[@iansteward4708]

I’ve got the clears and the cab lights…all of them top quality. Worth getting the HID kit as well.

[@frankgulla8507]

Question, is there any difference between the 7.3 diesel kit and the 460 7.5 liter kit? I have a 97 F-250 HD 4x4 7.5 liter and I'm going to do the dana 60 swap for both as well.

[@Atomic_Diesel]

Should all be the same.

[@Realist897]

I have a stock 1995 7.3L f350 4x4 and as far asI know it’s stock and I was recommended to swap the axel to 2005+ , why would you want to swap what’s going to change after

[@Atomic_Diesel]

Coil spring front end (much better ride quality), much easier to rebuild front end, and disk brake on all 4 corners!

[@finnharris5347]

What kit did you use and it looks awesome

[@Atomic_Diesel]

Thank you! It’s Sky’s off road design 05 up swap kit.

[@NastyOBS]

been looking to do this same thing on my f250 i do not want to go higher either what front springs are you using?

[@Atomic_Diesel]

4400 rate springs think they are code ADD if I remember correctly!
