Correct. Pass drop but leaf sprung under. I'll see if I can track that thread down.

spring under will be a lot harder than spring over. Unless you're ok with cutting away a bunch of the casting.
You would have to notch this part

I expect to do some cutting/fabbing in that general area including cutting up the web you show.
I have a couple of theories on how to get away with that but I would have to talk with my axle guy over doing it. One involves a mini truss over the diff that includes a perch coming around the casting. One involves bracket at edge of casting plus a bit on the casting. (I fully trust my axle guy welding on cast centers)
I'm curious to see what people have done for leaf springs especially for narrow rigged frames like my 29".
I know that in money perfect range, I'm better off starting with Ruff stuff and going to town. But piecing together all the needed parts becomes problematic with knuckles, c's, and third member.
After doing my axle, I'm pretty confident you could notch that whole web out, and weld a piece of thick angle in. Id cut a piece from some 3/8 wall square tube. As for welding, 60% nickel rod is probably best and doesnt take much more than some preheating. But im not an expert on any other methods.

I've searched and searched but can't find this info. Here and Google.
What are the F4/550 vs F2/350 inner axle lengths?

Does anyone know if anything 05+ came with m14-2.0 studs. My axle came with some unit bearings but the studs are not m14-1.5. Axle and knuckles are 06 f450 the unit bearing physically fit in the knuckles correctly and are the big 2 inch 32spline(I believe that’s correct) but my m14-1.5 lugnuts I ordered don’t fit now im stumped

Yes, any wheel bearing designed to have a dually spacer on it has different wheel studs as they use nuts on them, not "lugnuts". They all take the same stubs, if OEM.

Ok so I’ll just need to order m14-2.0 lug nuts and if I ever need replacements just order for 05+ f350 dually

Why not match the rear? Knock out your old ones and press them into the new... they take all the same knurl.
If you're ordering fine M14-2.0's, order the F450 ones to be sure.

The rear will be a 14 bolt steer with f450 Cs and knuckles as well from an 06 2wd beam axle. Just trying to figure out if I need to buy 4 unit bearings or if the two I have are useable

Can someone please spoon feed some information to me….
As reported earlier in this thread 2011+ Superduty axles have a 55 tooth tone ring front and rear. Is this accurate? I understand counting the rear tone ring is simple, not quite so easy on the front.
Artec simply states 05+ is 60 tooth.
Does anyone know what the tooth count is on 05-10 unit bearings?
