New to the 6.7 powerstroke

Just wanted to say Hi to All, I have been reading post from the past to learn
what if any problems the new engine has had. Im not new to the ford family
I have had 5 Crewcab F350 superduties one being gas the others diesel.
I will be picking up my new/used Tuxedo black 2011 F350 shortbed CC Lariat next friday up near Milwaukee WI, and driving it back to socal

I would like to know who has the best leveling lift, and with it leveled out I will get some new shoes for it. nothing big just a little wider, say 285-65-20 or 305-55-20. I guess everybody likes the Bilstein shocks, was there any reason why this 2011 has 20" wheels I have read that other 2011 have 18" wheels. What if any additives should I use in the fuel,

Any advice you can give, I will listen.. I havent had a new truck in 12 years
looking forward to see how much ford has advanceed in the truck line.
After I finish with my 7.3 engine build I will sell my 2000 F350 C.C. Lariat
no need for three trucks.

Lenz Truck? That's where I bought mine. If it is, I test drove your truck! Nice choice...

It's Fond du Lac...I live there. There is nothing wrong with it. I just saw mine and had to have it. Kind of wanted a silver truck with black interior. You will love the truck. If you want to hook up or need anything while you are in town, send me a PM. Are you dealing with Mark?

Crap...I forgot we are headed North for the weekend. I just looked at the calendar. I've bought two trucks from them. They are stand up guys. Bought one from Brad Lenz and the other from Mark Philips. They took good care of me...

When you get there, tell Mark I said hello and he should donate a ton of money to this site for selling two trucks in two weeks! Enjoy the truck and drive home safely.

I don't recall the leveling kit (It was on it)...I'll look at it later. The tires are Toyo Open Country MT 35 x 12.5 R 20LT. I plan on switching over to the Nitto Trails in a few months as the Toyo's are almost shot.
