New 2014 Ford F350 Platinum. Need lift Kit

Hey guys. I've recently purchased a new 2014 Ford F350 Platinum. Now I want to start off with a new wheel combo and a new lift kit. Now that brings me to this, I have no idea what so ever in what kit I should get. Please help me guys. I'd like to keep the current suspension. Just to let you guys know I'm mostly interested in the appearance of the truck.

Lift kit and keep current suspension? Thats not going to work. How big of a lift are you looking to do? Or did you just want to level out the front with the rear? Not sure what kind of money you want to spend, but lift kits are kind of "you get what you pay for". Having said that...if I were considering lifting my truck, I would look to the ICON kits.

I'm confused... Why lift a new expensive platinum truck?

What are you looking to gain? Are you planning on towing?

Its your choice, and money, just curious to your motives.

If I just dropped that much coin on a vehicle. The only lift I would even consider is one you could get a ford dealer to install and provide written proof that my warranty would still be in full effect.

Let us know when you find that Ford dealer. lol
Lifting a brand new truck is a good way to f*$% if up....IMHO...been there, done that.
BUT...if you really can't live without a lifted truck, especially a really expensive one (I just got my F350 Platinum 2 weeks ago so I am well aware of the coin needed), look at the ICON kits. Don't buy a cheap lift kit just to lift your truck, because then what I wrote earlier in this post will happen...

why no lift guys? I have GM, Ford, and Dodge dealers in my area that sell brand new trucks all ready lifted on the lots. Now they charge you double for the lift and tires BUT your warranty is intact
