About Ford F-250
Ford used several different suspension configurations for the first-generation Super Duty range, depending on the model of truck. Heavy-duty 3-inch (76.2 mm) leaf springs and staggered shock absorbers are standard on all pickup models. A stabilizer bar is standard on dual rear-wheel models and optional on single rear-wheel models. On single rear-wheel models, an optional slide-in camper certification package with heavier-duty springs was available. The Super Duty trucks were all equipped with four-wheel disc brakes.
Twin I-Beam independent front suspension with coil springs was used on 2WD F-250 and F-350 pickups, while solid front axle (Dana 50 and Dana 60) with leaf springs was used on 4WD counterparts. As 4WD trucks were converted to front coil springs in 2005, the front suspension was updated; to reduce unsprung weight, the front sway bar was moved to the frame rather than the front axle. Warn manufactures the manual locking hubs found on Super Duty trucks.
The F-250 and F-350 single-rear-wheel versions were equipped with a 10.5-inch (270 mm) Sterling 10.5 axle 35-spline axle with the option of conventional or limited-slip differentials; originally designed for previous-generation Ford trucks, it was strengthened for use in the Super Duty. The rear axle in dual-rear wheel F-350s was a Dana 80.
