2011+ 4" lift, F250-350 Gas

Hey all,

I'm contemplating a 4" lift on my 2012 F250/6.2L. It sits at stock height now with 315/70R17, slight rubbing on the mud flaps near full lock. Does anyone have a 4" lift and you could post pics with what size tires you're running?

Thx!!

Can you post a picture? I'm looking at upgrading the wheels/tire but not a lift or any suspension work.

Thanks!

man these new trucks look SO GOOD with a 4" lift and the proper size tires, if Ford only offered a manual transmission still there would be a nice shiny new 13' F350 sitting in my driveway.......

Here is a 3/4 view. I don't have any full side on with these tires. They measure 34.4 inches tall.







Second pic is with factory tires.

Thanks for all your replies. I was thinking more of a full suspension lift, but theReadylift kit would do the job nicely.

I commented to another one of your posts in another thread just a moment ago, but didnt mention anything about the lift so much. The thing that interested me the most about the lift was that the factory ride and suspension was kept the same only lifted up and made taller. I have 37" tires and no rubbing. I love the lift i have and will look to go back with a similar one on my next trucks!

Hi JM, looked up your other reply. I have Firestone bags on the truck already. Mine seems to sit a little nose high or at least dead level with no load, bone stock. It has a heavy service front end, I think that makes a difference. I keep 5lbs in the bags and it keeps a slight rake. I think I'll be going with the Stage 3TP kit later, I don't plan on running much bigger rubber, but would like the more agressive look.

that should work well for you then, if you go with a much bigger lift then you will hate all the empty space between fender and wheel and will want to upsize the tires. so sounds like a good choice.
