campingnut Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Can anybody tell me if ford is still using a 2" rear spring block on the F-250 and a 4" on the F-350 SRW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Can anybody tell me if ford is still using a 2" rear spring block on the F-250 and a 4" on the F-350 SRW I don't think so. I believe they are all the same at 3.75" now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campingnut Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Thanks for that it looks like the ones from a 2016 and older will fit and I have even found some aftermarket ones with the bump stop tab that might work. I may have to lower the back of the truck for my 5th Wheel. Edited February 17, 2017 by campingnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fiver sits almost perfectly level behind my '08 F250, but I'm afraid the '17 F350 I've got coming is going to be too tall. Not only is the '17 a couple inches taller, but I expect almost zero squat compared to my '08. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordmantpw Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 What day did you order your new truck January 30/31 (I don't know the exact day it was submitted). How about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campingnut Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Mine was submitted on January 31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Mine was submitted on January 31. Awesome! I have a build week of 3/20, and I'm hoping for delivery by mid-April. I'm a lot closer to KTP than you, though. I'll have to put some quick miles on her to get her broken in and ready to pull the fifth wheel!

campingnut Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 I have a build wee of Feb 27 as per cyberdman on this site and no delivery time but I would guess sometime time late March. Cotus does not work for me and dealer is not much help or lazy. No window sticker yet nor Etis showing anything. cyberdman has been my best help so far.

I thought my date was pretty quick. You may actually have yours before me then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordmantpw Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I hate waiting lol....and I can't track/follow it lol....All my other truck purchases have always been right from of the lot. I hear ya! I've already sold my truck, so I'm driving our 2010 Mercury Milan till it gets here. Talk about a big difference in vehicles! I don't have a VIN yet, but once I do, I will probably enlist some help from the forum members here for tracking. Not that that will help it get here any faster though!

campingnut Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 I got mine vin from here on Monday (Feb13) asked my dealer about it yesterday and all the salesman would say is that it is locked, whatever that means, and he only realized that I had a vin yesterday.

fordmantpw Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 May have to hit my salesman up and see if he's got a VIN for me yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campingnut Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Cyberdman (on this site) found it with just my order number and dealer code. and also that it is an f350 SWR CC. I guess you could say we hijacked this thread lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I didn't get the order number or dealer code, just trying to be patient and wait it out, but once I get the VIN, that will all change! And hey, it's your thread, so if you are part of the hijack, it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordmantpw Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 fordmantpw just for your reference I received my window sticker today. Awesome! I've got a text out to my salesman asking for an update. I'm starting to get antsy now. The first two weeks weren't bad, but the past week it has gotten worse! I think it's the beautiful weather we are having. I'm wanting to go camping, and I've got no truck to hook to the fifth wheel! Not sure how I'm going to make it another 6 weeks!

campingnut Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Well it is snowing here and I just took our trailer in to have the front and rear caps re-painted. So no camping for a few more weeks here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Just heard back from my salesman and I've got a VIN. Mid to late March for delivery he says! Yippee!! I'm jealous of the snow BTW. It's 60 degrees here, and been 70 for the past week. It's February dangit...it should be cold and snowing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campingnut Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Well if I could send it to you I would, the snow that is. Looks like you will getting yours before I get mine. I am expecting a delivery date of sometime after March 23. Edited February 23, 2017 by campingnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Just checked and I've got a window sticker too. ETA is 3/23, exactly 4 weeks from today. I can't get my AQHA rebate until 3/26, so I may have to wait an additional day or two to save that extra $500! Now, to find time to do my taxes so I can get that refund deposited before the truck gets here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
