Radius Arm Bracket Variations


Variations of RAB size:

-Smaller RAB work wiht 4" to 5.5" of lift

-Larger RAB work with 7" of lift

-larger sizes can be special ordered, but this is not the most aesthetic solution for larger lifts

You can use aftermarket caster correcting radius arms to accomodate more lift with the above RAB options.


Variations of RAB fitment:

F35A: 1977-1979 F350, single and crew cab

F35B: 1973-1976 F350, single and crew cab

F35C: F1967-1972, F350, single and crew cab

X35A: 1977-1979 F350, Supercab only

X35B: 1975-1975 F350, Supercab only

 

The cab type is a 90% reliable indicator of RAB variation. To be 100% sure of fitment, check out this page with pictures:

4 Link:


4 link types:
Low lift 4 link- 3/8" wall 1.75" OD DOM tubes, 3/16" steel frame brackets, Rock Krawler 1.25" threaded rod ends, with the upper tubes formed  in an "S" shape to wrap around the side of the frame. These give the most possible ground cleaerance and work with 4" to 7" of lift.

High lift 4 link- 3/8" wall 1.75" OD DOM tubes, 3/16" steel frame brackets, Rock Krawler 1.25" threaded rod ends. All 4 tubes are straight and mount underneath the frame. These work with 5.5" to 10" of lift.

Mega lift 4 link- 0.283" wall 2" OD DOM tubes, 1/4" steel frame brackets, Ballistic Fabrication 1.5" threaded rod ends. All 4 tubes are straight and mount underneath the frame. These parts are signiciantly larger and heavier than other 4 link options. These work with 9" to 13" of lift. These can be special ordered shorter or longer to accomodate different lift.
 

Spring Buckets and Lift Height

Spring bucket options:
4" lift
5.5" lift

7" lift (minimum lift to avoid notching your engine crossmember)

 

These numbers are with oem used 2005 coils

 

Tire size to lift height:

33" tire - 4" lift (4" bucket + oem used SD coil)

35" tire - 5.5" lift (5.5" bucket + oem used SD coil)

37" tire - 7" lift (7" bucket + oem used SD coil)

38" tire - 9" lift (7" bucket + 2" lift coil)

40" tire - 11" lift (4" bucket + 8.5" lift coil or 7+4 or 5.5+6)

 

Track Bar Bracket


TBB lift heigh options:

-4" to 6" lift TBB: pairs with oem 2005-07 SD pitman arm, used w/ 2005-16 SD track bar.

-7" lift TBB: pairs with oem 2005-07 SD pitman arm, used w/ 2005-16 SD track bar. (this TBB is nearly identical in appearance to the 4" to 6" TBB)

-7" to 11" lift TBB: pairs with a drop pitman arm like Skyjacker FA450, used w/ 2005-16 SD track bar.

-10" to 13" lift TBB: requires fabricated high mount track bar, meant for high steer and drop pitman arm use. Message me for a list of parts to source. This is a fairly expensive route

Each of these come in two styles- for single wall crossmembers or for double wall crossmember.

Engine Crossmembers

This makes a difference in which steering box plate and TBB you need.

Engine crossmembr types:
-Single wall: about 8" on top, 10" on bottom, measuring front to back. Most 1974 and newer F350 and F250 trucks seem to have this.

 

-Double wall: about 11" on top, 12.75" on bottom, measuring front to back. Note that only the forward flange is double walled. Most 1973 and older F350 trucks seem to have this.


Double wall crossmember applications require additional cutting and welding for stering box installation. It's fairly difficult to do with the inner fender in place.
