Recommended Front Suspension Enhancement to Reduce Bounce and Hop on 1976 Ford F-250 4x4

Question

Question:

I apologize. After re-reading, I neglected to mention the truck has a 4in suspension lift. I would assume the listed parts would not work with my truck? -Thanks

It sounds like the additional weight on the front of your truck when decelerating is an issue. It sounds like the rear of your truck has the additional support but the front of your truck would benefit from suspension enhancement. I recommend the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TFF2504 which is the only fit we have for your 1976 Ford F-250 4x4. This will help absorb road shock and improve the stability of your truck.

Thanks for the added information. The Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TFF2504 will work but you will need to add spacers. You will need to use the Timbren 1" Spacer For Raised Frame Vehicles - 1/2" bushing # TA25723-90AD00 and stack them for each side. The longer bolt for each side you will need to obtain from a local hardware store.

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…
