kramttocs Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 The PO had this done to the 94 F250 I used to own. Could you tell a difference between it and your 86? I like the stance of our trucks as they are but also haven't seen one with and one without next to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpin Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Could you tell a difference between it and your 86? I like the stance of our trucks as they are but also haven't seen one with and one without next to each other. Scott, I like the stance on my 86 better. The 94 was even IMO. It says it’s for ride height and not weight capacity, but when I went over rough railroad tracks I have to feel around on the floor to find my teeth! I think, and heavy on the think part, that the 86 rides better. And I know that’s not saying much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
