F450 converted to 37” super singles

Pretty sure it equates to 10-12" tighter turning radius.

Its a nice feature. But for those of us that are still used to leaf sprung trucks, ANY of the newer coil sprung rigs turn incredibly well ?

Found the data turning circle...

F350 DRW 172” WB -
Curb to curb 56.6’
Wall to wall. 58.4’

F450 DRW 172” WB -
Curb to curb. 50.4’
Wall to wall. 52.5’

6’ smaller circle with the F450
 

Buddha.

Finally in expo white.
Do you still expect to be able to tow 30klbs? If not how much do you think the SRW will be good for?

My tank on a trailer is still under the capacity of the single tires.
I dont expect to haul 35k but the singles are enough for my toys.

That's an impressive improvement. I would hate to compare these numbers with those for my 99 F350 4x4 CC LWB. Any roads less than 6 lanes wide, forget about a clean U-Turn.

No, the old stuff turns like a bus.

Pretty much anything 2005+ has a dramatically improved turning radius, even without the wide track.

My 2011 feels like a honda civic in parking lots compared to my 1996 :ROFLMAO:

Dont want to derail the topic but.... the minigun is live and the AH-6 served with the 160th SOAR. I am very proud to keep this former Nightstalker in the air.

Towing heavy. Singles conversion is working out. 7340# on the rear axle. The trailer scaled exactly 20,000#.

Pulling strong with the 4.30 gears and 37s
