 | 1999 F250 4x4 Front End Swap I have a 1999 F250 4x4 7.3L Powerstroke. It has the leaf spring front end with a 6 inch lift. Does anyone make a kit to convert the front end to a coil spring suspension to lighten up the ride? Or are there any different types of shocks to make the truck not as bouncy??? |

| A good set of shocks should help. Alot of people I know really like bilsteins. they seem to do pretty well with the heavy diesels.
