They don't make them any more, and they really didn't work so well!

Definitely. 6.4 is a pretty good engine once the regeneration system is taken off. Then you Can make power and get good mileage.

Your not talking about a paxton are you? Those build boost with rpm. I still think a Turbo is it.

Exactly. 6.0 are famous for lifting the heads on overboost. The brilliant engineers at international decided to put 8 fewer head bolts on them than the 7.3. WTF??

it's the V front springs from the F350 and B rear springs from the F250 with a F350 rear block!

Now, that's not the leveling kit, though, Steve. I don't think it is anyway.

The reason they lift the heads also is the EGR gets plugs, then cracks, lets coolant enter the intake, makes it to the combustion chamber, turns to steam, spikes the e cylinder pressure, than pops the head gasket. No over boost needed.

it lifts it 2" from stock, but mine is sagging anyways, so it might be about 3" lift all the way around.
I can't fit anything between my front bump stops except maybe a piece of paper.
