I'd like to discuss the ease or rather disease of dropping one of these setups complete with the rearend. In my f100. Any thoughts. anything to watch out for.

It's a bolt-on, no mods necessary. Just keep in mind that Flex-o-matic springs are longer than standard springs, so you can't just add the special brackets....it has to be done as an assembly, springs AND brackets. If you do this, replace the bushings while you have everything apart.

Thanks keith! once again i have learned something. but if i swap it right over as an entire assembly do the bushings in the special bracket also have to come out? I plan on transfering the whole unit with axle attached.

Well, none of them HAVE to be replaced, unless they're dry-rotted or showing signs of wear. However, since you'll probably never have everything that far disassembled again, I'd just suggest replacing them while you have easy access to them.

As my HS auto mechanics teacher used to say "It's gonna take a long time to get back in there. Better do it now."
