Do you think they will fit an F-250 7.3 Diesel? If so where are you located?

Only if it's lifted. Otherwise they will be too long.

Yes it has a small lift and 35" tires. You think it's a match?

Hi Roberto, if BFS doesnt take the shocks, I would be interested in them. I have a 7.3 psd F350 with a leveling kit.
Its very cool of you to offer them up on the board like this. Kudos to you for being so generous!
Melanie
p.s. I promise that they will have a very good home! 
Forget about the danger and think of the fun.

I'm sure. But, we also need to make sure they fit your truck, or they will be wasted, and we don't want that, do we?
I placed a link a couple messages above this one. If they don't work for BFS you should follow it and send me those measurements, which I will then
check.

For some reason this thread reminds of my dad's favorite example of 'ambiguity'.
"Tatiana rode her fine carriage into town with a raised rear".

I did not realize that Whistler. I thoght only 1 measurement would be enough. Any ideas how to compress a very large F-250?

BFS,you need to give Roberto more information to see if the shocks will work.There should be two measurements for both front and rear.Extended and

Yep, that was the reason for the link. I believe it tells you how to get both measurements.
As far as compressing the shocks in order to mount them, I would go to a shop unless you've done this before. But, there are many ways to do it.
Whistler is suggesting letting pressure out of the shocks, mounting them, and then adding back nitrogen to the correct pressure, which also can vary
in terms of "tuning". Again, a shock (amortiguadores) shop will do this with no hassle.
