How To: OBS Ford Coil Conversion & 4 Link

Published 2023-02-11
This kit from MDK is the first bolt-on product that lets you keep your stock Dana 60 axle, ditch the leaf springs and concert to the better-riding coils. 4 link included. No welding. Pretty much basic hand tools.

    Hey man, started installing my MDK coil kit yesterday. I really appreciate your in depth video. I've reviewed it a couple times during my tear down. I'm not good at video, but I am taking pics. I'll send you a few when I'm done. Thanks again!!!!
  • This turned out so friggin nice. I wish I had thought of the blocks when I initially lifted mine a few years ago. Using Highboy lift springs cut my load hauling capacity in half. I am probably going to re-install the original cab and chassis springs and do what you did. Awesome build Doug, thanks for putting this out, now I can order the coil set up

    Looks Awesome. Ordered mine a couple months ago, still waiting, can't wait to install it!!!

  • @killacali4283
    i currently have a 2wd 1995 f350. its hard to find a OBS straight axel. would it work with a 2003 f350 straight axel
  • @dylant4104
    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
  • @heyitsmedouglas heyitsmedouglas is that an 8 inch lift or 2.5? i ask bc the leaf spring suspension can be short lift than the coil suspension. i heard both and got confused on what it truly was. i just bought the same kit and had it powder coated just waiting on my truck to get out of paint.
  • @Janceschlottog
    I’m currently building a 1997 ford f350 and was wanting to do a coil over swap
  • @clevesewell
    I agree with the wearing gloves . Some people are soft some folks are not
  • @dereknewtown615
    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
  • @ss1943-xe5pw
    Hey, question: What kit did you order from MDK? The leveled or 4"?? I want the same result you got
  • @Mustang66289
    Hey man got it all together, drives a little squirrelly though. I had to panic stop and the axle rolled/slipped in the brackets. I got the bolts hella tight too. Did you have this issue? Thx for your continued help.
