Will a 10" suspension Lift kit for a '99 7.3 Superduty bolt onto a '03 F350 6.0 Superduty?


I have a line on a used kit cheap, guy's putting his truck back to stock to trade it in.


TIA, Travis

should be the same kit for both trucks, may have different blocks for the rear, but mostly the same, just be sure to get everything. u-bolts, brake lines, driveshaft spacers, hanger kit and any steering mods he may have. good luck

with 10 inches of lift it is more than likely just springs. then you will need track bar bracket, pitman arm, and carrier bearing spacers. that should be about it.

My freind and I swapped out a lift from a 2000 F350 to his 2003 F350 with a 6.0. Everything was the same and it worked perfectly. Just make sure you get all the right parts.

The early 99s had a few minor differences.

ding ding ding we have a winner!!! if its an early 99 the holes on the trackbar is smaller than that on the 99.5 and later. its an easy fix if you have a good drillbit and drill otherwise everything will bolt up... maybe with a few little diffrences. you dont need a trackbar... i havent had one on my rig for about 4months

What other differences are there? I don't want to buy this kit and get screwed when I go to install it. I have access to all the tools and machines I would need, but would love to have it planned out before instead of figureing it out while installing.

Couldn't I re-use the trackbar of my 6" lift if it is indeed different than on the '99 lift?

You should get new u-bolts (even if the old ones are the right style for your truck).


If the truck it's coming off of is an early 99 the trac bar bracket is different (as mentioned) and the pitman arm is different.

Other than that..leaf springs are the same for 99-04, as are shocks.
