You can weld tabs to frame side in mounting area. Ford as well as others tend to do this with year end and model changes. I once had an F257 , you will never see anything about this truck. All it was was a larger BVW rating then a F250 and they changed a few parts from a F350 without the total package. Just make sure to be flush with frame,another option would be to check the dually width and the F250 frame width ,it may be anothe F257

Testimonial: "thanks for the info, that was helpful"
