did we ever get a full parts list for this conversion?
Ok, so do we have a good parts list for this swap yet? And, idk if I'm reading this correctly, but with this swap, our bolt pattern will change? Or no?
Same bolt pattern, parts list is in one of the other posts. 2004-2006 E150 + 87-96 lower ball joint.
Gentlemen,
I have been reading and thinking about this thread all day. Please correct me if I am wrong; the 04-06 front brake conversion has been proven and tested. BTW 871Bolt, looks really good. However, I am gathering that the rear conversion has yet to be established. Therefore, I did a little research that you all may or may not know. I understand that the rear axles for our lightnings are (right rear 31 1/16, left rear 33/3/16) and the 04-06 E-150s are (right rear 31 inches, left rear 35 11/16) so, to me, that tells me we cannot swap axles or rear end due to the differences in length.
I currently have the rear disc brake via the explorer conversion but, I am very interested in using the E-150 rear rotors if possible.
So just to be 100% clear these will NOT fit stock 17"s?
Thank you.
Most e150s use a 16 inch steel wheel....
On 17's all you need a to shim out wheel 1/8" washer will work, or grind a little off the bracket.
I had to completely redesign my front airbag setup because the bags were rubbing on the I-beam's and damaging them. Thanks Sportruk ldtu: for the helpful ideas.
Always happy to help.ldtu:
I got mine back on the road.
I couldn't resist the red paint.
I need to try bleeding again. I can't really get it to lock up the brakes. I'll be interested in the results of the larger master. I just might have to upgrade the master and get some blaided flexlines.
I had to paint the rears to match.
While I had the rear apart, I changed out the half shafts. I feel a little better with the larger Super Coupe shafts.
At $1600, I think I'll will wait till I snap these ones.:gl: I do need to order up a Control Freak girdle cover to fix the #1 weak spot on these diffs.
I don't know, I heard Sportruk just spends his time cleaning his truck and making it pretty so he would never have time to go out and break the Super Coupe axles, let one those ones... ;k I'm just saying...
The INSIDE of his bumper is cleaner than the TOP of my hood. I am disappointed that he didn't paint BOTH sides of his valance though... LOL !
I am kind of curious on what Electronic load leveling system he is using now that I look at those pictures again...
