I know they make a 3/5 drop kit for 2008-2010 F350s. I know there is a difference between the 350 and 450 suspension but I don't know exactly what.

The springs and spacer trick will only get you around 1" or less.

What kind of adapters do you have to mount the wheels on your truck?

somebody made me billet adapters he said there T50 6 aircraft aluminum for the truck he swears they are stronger than the steel ones. I am so sketched out about them what is your opinion lockone ? I dont know anything about this

Give them back to him. T50 grade aluminum is mainly used in utensils, decorative trim, chemical tanks, and awnings because it is not heat treatable. Aluminum is stronger than steel in some aspects but it is also soft, therefore the stud often pulls loose from the knurl seats on the aluminum (especially if they are over 1" thick).

The only adapters I have seen for these trucks are steel and you have to reverse (invert) the factory lug studs for the hub bore of the wheel to clear the stock lug pattern. I am not a fan of this because it make them a pain in the a$$ to install and they are not user friendly.

We build direct bolt wheels for these trucks as a result of them being user friendly.
