The coil sprung frames were braced behind/around the coil towers so they didn’t buckle. Most that talk bout the swap say it should be done so disaster doesn’t strike . They say the leaf sprung frames werent as strong /stiff. The coil springs have a lot of angle on them like when the radius arms are short or no dropped down enough . If it rides funny that’s why .
Yes ! sooner than later , currently testing the kit and designing the track bar bracket so you don't need a adjustable track bar can use the factory one, look me up on FB or IG @backdoorfab
So what year and model would i need to find a dana 60 front and dana80 single rear wheel. Good video and thank for the help. I would be doing a square body chevy dually swap to a single rear wheel
Dana 80 is honestly a poor choice for a rear axle given the amazing support for the 10.5 sterling(which matches wheel bolt pattern for the SD60 Front) and the GM 14 bolt Rear which is by far the easiest to work on. It's like a big Ford 9". When I did 1 tons on my Jeep it took me under an hour to do a full strip/rebuild and new gears/locker on a 14 bolt
i will never use coil axles under these trucks even new one i change to leaf to dam many issue with them coil over axles i take a little harsher ride for knowing it can take it
@@BDF_in_the_shop The Excursion is just a big SUV body on a F250 frame. The front of my excursion already has the brackets for leaf springs, but I want a solid axle and coil springs. My excursion has the TTb front end.

Since the Excursion is basically the same, would your kit work on a 2001 2wd Excursion with the turbo 7.3?
I cant 100% confirm as I haven't seen one in person but in theory it should be all the same
