any death wobble yet?
Zero
Totally confusing
Don’t worry. Once you become at least partially smart, it’ll all make sense. Cheers.
What did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking.
I would like to do this to my 1987 ford f250 7.5 460 4x4 manual truck. But, stock height. Do they offer stock height? Nothing weird. Smooth and calm and smart. Not seeking attention with the truck. Want to be factory stealthy sort of. Thanks
Not sure about that. Contact MDK to find out. You can always cut the coils down to work for your desired ride height (blah blah shut up about progressive spring rates and just live life you internet losers) and adjust whatever shocks you buy for the reduced ride height from what I posted.
What does this do? Does it improve anything besides a few Hp?
Increased engine life bc of less “strain” on the motor. A marginal increase in power. Those are the 2 main reasons.
While the electrical connections on the starter solenoid are metric (10mm and 13mm), the bolts holding the starter to the bell housing case are not metric. They are actually SAE 3/8 x 16 threads per inch with a crown that fits a half inch wrench. Using a 13 mm wrench may actually round off the bolts making them almost impossible to remove. I ended up replacing the bolts with the rounded off 1/2 inch heads with flange bolts having a head that fits a 9//16 wrench. No more rounded bolts.
I prefer rounded off bolts and nuts. It gives me a reason to scrap the entire motor and start over with a new motor that isn’t justified and is running perfectly fine but I need a reason to get a bigger motor. But I do appreciate the info!
Is it possible to leave the smog pump in and install the new shorter Napa belt?
Where is part 2 😎
Coming soon. I have all of the parts except for the 4 link bars.
saying that’s a badass truck is an understatement 😮💨🫡
Now get electric fans
Do you have a lift on it or just a leveling kit?
Definitely a lift. I’ll have to go back and look at previous videos (or this one) but it ended up being higher than expected with the stated components.
Is MDK the only 4 link coilover kit you found? Still happy with it? Any wobble or bounce? I'm not wanting to swap dana 60 and 10.25" sterling rear out for 2005+ axles. The only other option is RSK, but front coilovers seems superior.
It’s not a coilover. It’s just coils with shocks. You could do coilovers with it, I suppose. It rides fine for being a single cab dually and it’s definitely an improvement over stock. Rides better than an rsk for sure.
Looks like a Frankenstein
First
Did you leave it like that or did you run pipe out the side
I added an exit pipe plus muffler to give me the option of loud vs louder.
@@heyitsmedouglasheyitsmedou1312 is it okay to just leave it like that or will it like cause any problems
Zero problems
The welds actually look like shit in the kit!
Almost as shitty as your AK
@@heyitsmedouglasheyitsmedou1312 Im not knocking you , I dig your channel and love your trucks but i had to call out those welds!
Turn down the music dude.
It wasn’t even loud. That guy doesn’t like sounds of any kind.
Hey man I’ve actually got the exact same setup as you. Single cab 97 red f350. I tried putting dodge inners on mine and had the nice ones on the outside. Is it a big no no to have the dodge inners? I’d really like to have a talk on the phone with you about this @heyitsmedouglas
The dodge inners just need to be SLIGHTLY ground down so they fit over the bigger Ford hub. That’s it. Bolt pattern is the same. Grind them and bolt them on.
Very helpful thank you in process of removing all the power restrictions on my 90 f350 460 Stock manifolds smog etc … deleted cat
Because much more turning radius with f40 true super 60?
Just bc I can and get the wider stance 🤷♂️. It’s 1 of 5 trucks that I currently own so it doesn’t have to be practical.
This mfer is the reason why i cant find any of these trucks
Lol. They’re out there. Just have to be fast with the purchase.
Thats why i live in the country
I live on 5 acres and all my neighbors have acreage. My neighbor on one side is in the county. My property happens to be in the city limits, unfortunately.
Up here in Maine we'd say that bed was rust free! Lol
Wate till you get 66 years old

Hey, question: What kit did you order from MDK? The leveled or 4"?? I want the same result you got
I believe I did the 2.5” but it actually gave around 7” of lift with the Icon coils.
Sir. If theres a belt to bypass the AC compressor. I would love to know that too
Great video Sir. My smog pump just started squealing l ike crazy. Yeah im considering this now 😢 thank you so much for the information.
One clean ass truck man! You have to get lug pattern adapters?
No adapters. Ordered them for direct bolt on for 8 lug. It is not an F Superduty with 10 lugs. Just a little cab and chassis baby lol.
@heyitsmedouglasheyitsmedou1312 I got a 94 F350 12 valve swapped I'm trying to put 2020 17s on it. I ordered some lug adapters hopefully they will work. Love your truck though. I was gonna order those ion bulletholes this morning but the guy at the tire shop had a set of brand new pull offs he wanted 800 bucks for em. Figured I could make it work lol
Sounds like a sweet truck. I don’t recall how much I paid for the wheels but I think they were $1,100-$1,200 for 4 of them (I have used Dodge dually inner wheels on the rear).
22.5 tires
How much on a cat scale does it weigh
Good question. Can you bring me a Cat scale?
Hey Doug , so absolutely no rub on the rear tires No spacers used ? Was not able to finish the complete video
Zero rub. 2” spacer in the rear.
Dude what’s the tire sizes and spacer size
35x12.5x17. 2” spacer.
4:13 the welds on the shackles, look like poo.
K
I see you said it was a 2.5” lift, I have a dually looking to go similar looks but what’s the wheels are tire set up. Thanks
Yep, the first 2 minutes or so of that video have the truck with a 2.5” leaf spring lift. Tires are 35x12.5x20 Gladiator XComps. Wheels are 17x7(?) Pacers.
I like it
I wired the flood lights up yesterday and installed the license plate lights. Just have to figure out how I’m going to mount the reverse sensors. Might need to drill the holes out to make them fit but I don’t want to mess up the powder coat.
I just wait for the factory one to fall off. I'm almost there with my 2008 Ranger.
Excellent bumper
Im just curious that never threw a check engine light or anything
Never once had an engine light or code from doing this
@heyitsmedouglasheyitsmedou1312 I just wanted to ask cause my just locked up an I live in ny cause we all know how cali an ny are but thank you for letting me know
Hey yo, it looks damn good. Btw, are you in the oilfield or energy industry?
Negative on oil or energy. Construction 🏠.
How did you fit 35s I got a stock 89 f450 I’m wanting to do a lift and wider tires but idk how wide I can go on it it’s on stocks and 10 lug 16s
Hey buddy looking for information on that hitch setup
Which part specifically? The receiver that is bolted on or the actual contraption that is welded onto the frame and extends down?
Does it affect how it idles and runs?
Makes it run marginally better and it idles the same
Thank you I want to do the smog delete so that I can install headers
@jamesleon98 I put long tube headers on mine (460 efi) and it sounds like a champ. Definitely improved the sound. No dash lights before or after doing so. Highly recommended. I used Doug Thorley.
More content!!!
what size are those tires?
35x12.5x17
I tried every belt that NAPA Auto parts had for a 351 which is what I have and none of them worked
Not sure about a 351, as mine is a 460. Kind of surprised Napa couldn’t set you up with the right belt.
Did you get this to work?
Haven’t done a dang thing to it since I took off the bed and wire wheeled the frame
@heyitsmedouglasheyitsmedou1312 that will be super cool if you get it done. I want to do something similar with D80s on my 7.3 f250 SRW. I want the extra braking and higher gear ratio without buying a new truck. Lots of 450s at junkyards.
@noahk4139 I’ll get it done for sure. Too many projects and work going on right now.
Ford carbonized grey - M7
I like the specificity
@@heyitsmedouglasheyitsmedou1312 I wanted to make sure it was a FORD color! lol. Love the project, can’t wait to see more of it!
