Was wondering if i need to change the springs on the front from 2" to something else when i go to a 60? I measured the 14 bolt and the pads were 2" so i think i'm ok there. Also will i need to outboard the front shackles?

We kept the stock springs. Simply took off the perches and replaced them with WAR200 (4wp) we can also get them if you need. We always move the spring outboard on full-width conversions.

I didn't bother changing the springs when I put my full width '44 under.. it all depends on what you want.
If you WANT 2.5" wide springs, then put 'em in.. if not, don't.

I got 2" wide 54" long front springs from a 1968 Ford 1/2 ton on the front. I put 3" wide 56" long full size Bronco springs on the back (under the frame). So far so good. Of course I have never driven the rig cause the engine is still on the stand, but it flexes real well. BTW - stock Scout II axles.
Ritch :D
