Been driving a 2000 F250 7.3L for ten years. 260K miles on it and the body is gone.

This truck is a 2002 F250 7.3L with 130K miles. Originally a Texas truck, no rust. Paid $13K.

Fluid Fill your Frt tires.

The weight is lower & It doesn’t add stress on frt axle pivot.

Given that the center of mass of those weights is closer to the front axle than if they were mounted in the conventional manner have you calculated how much less weight they add to the front axle when a 60 box blade is mounted on the three point hitch?
:laughing:

...or calculated the maximum side hill tip angle driving one direction versus driving the other direction (i.e. calculated the twisting effect on the frame) ?
