2.5" lift Is this correct?
I own a 2014 f250 6.7L and would like to put on a 2.5" lift. I've been doing some research and this is what I've come up with. Eventually I'd like to put on 22" wheels and 35" tires. Obviously, I'd rather not have to trim anything. So, no rubbing is a must.
I predominately do street driving. So, with the option below is there anything I need to add or is anything unnecessary? The company I would have do the install said that I wouldn't need steering stabilizers. But, I'd rather get them and not need it, than not get them and be mad I didn't. So here it is:
Icon 2.5" stage 1 lift $1065
OUO adjustable link arms $1317
(icon 4 link $1700)
Icon adjustable trac bar $330
Icon V.S 2.0 aluminum shocks front and rear
Icon 4" rear blocks and U-bolts $245
Icon dual steering stabilizer kit w/ icon V.S 2.0 shocks $590
Total is about $3500
Is the OUO link arms similar to the Icon 4 link system? I plan on buying a jet ski next year. I assume this kit can handle that weight.
With that price I could opt to purchase a less expensive lift and wheels. However, I think it would be in my best interest to buy the better suspension and wait on the wheels and tires. Any suggestions, opinions and experience would be greatly appreciated. I want to make sure this is legit before I drop close to 4G's. Thanks again.

3500 seems like a lot of money for 2.5" of lift. with labor and the parts mark up...are you sure 2.5 will be enough in the long term...the incremental cost for more lift might not be that much.
to get a senese of the parts markup, amazon the price of the parts individually. 500 buck for dual stablizers is almost tripple what I paid.
As far as name brands...thats subjective...what the seller wants to sell you always seems like its the best choice for you....according to them.

Good call. I've thought about a 4.5" lift. I just want to make sure I'm getting a good product and the bang for my buck.
I hadn't even factored in labor so that will be a whole other animal.
Could I get away with just shocks, coils and blocks? Would I absolutely need steering stabilizers, track bar and link arms?
Thanks for the reply Speakerfritz

My friend has a similiar setup and the ride quality is definitley improved over stock but it is expensive.
A lot of guys do a leveling kit on front and add the F350 blocks in the rear. You might want to search this forum and the 6.7 forum (FTE) for leveling kit threads.
I agree with speakerfritz.....if you're spending that kind of dough then 4.5" or 6" won't be a lot more money. Also, Carli suspension seems to be popular in the 6.7 forum. Good luck.
