FORD-APBSDAC-001
-Aids in Superduty axle swaps by offering a solution for the panhard mount being in front-of-the-axle. (Instead of the factory 85-97 behind-the-axle mounts on 85-97 Dana 60's)
-Allows use of Superduty Dana 50/60 factory panhard mount
-Designed for 2-4" lifts, can work up to a 6" but we recommend our crossover panhard kit at that height.
-Larger lifts will need our Crossover Panhard and Crossover Steering kits.
Application:
-Truck: 92-97 Ford F-350 or Solid Axle Converted F-250 (Can be used with 80-91 trucks with some additional shimming / fabrication)
-Axle: 99-04 Ford Superduty Dana 50/60
See pictures above for installation detail.
The bracket bolts on to the drivers side of the frame.
The brace supports and strengthens the bracket to the engine cradle cross member.
The formed bar connects the axle to the bracket.
In some instances you will need to clearance the cross member to clear the bar.
80-91 trucks- the frame on these trucks have an additional 1/4" layer of steel folded over on part of the bottom of the frame where this bracket attaches. The bracket needs a 1/4" shim made to mount it correctly.

Just installed complete led upgrade....looks great....they actually dim out which surprised me...good products from obs solutions my go too for tasteful upgrades
Of all the upgrades I’ve made this one is my favorite. The braking feel is night and day difference, it’s worth every penny. I recommend installing the super duty P/S pump at the same time you do the vacuum pump delete kit. It makes it slot easier to install the P/S pump with the fan shroud removed. The delete kit doesn’t include two 18 gauge wires or splice connectors which you will need to wire the new vacuum pumps. For the price I think the kid should include these.
The light went in no problem and look great at night, the only down side was I ordered the wrong one, which is on me because I didn't realize I had the metal dome light. Only recommend to double check the kit you order. Sorry for the dirty dash, its a work in progress.
Originally planned to piece together a set of links for my 99 Dana 60 axle under my bullnose ford. When adding in the time wasted trying to source different parts and hardware as well as designing them this was far cheaper and very high quality. I ended up welding the tabs to the frame. I figured if I ever decided to run no sway bar they wouldn’t hurt being there. Even when pushed to the edge of the frame there is a little miss alignment from mount to the sway bar but I doubt it would ever hurt anything. I added some 1/2 inch aluminum round stock spacers between the links at the top mount to push the links inward toward the center of the frame and that seems to have helped the alignment of the links and made the mounting position more parallel. Overall super happy with these. If sky’s has made it for the front end of my truck it’s under there.
The steering linkage upgrade for my Dana 60 axle is top shelf. The rep at OBS was excellent to deal with, Replies to my questions were very quick and helpful. The package arrived in a timely manner and in excellent condition. I highly recommend OBS for your custom parts and obs parts.
