If you look in my pictures mines got a 6 inch lift kit

Just keep in mind when you lift kit and also keep in mind you will lose some of the ride quality and I'll be more stiff and you'll feel every bump in the road

And if you use your truck for work like I do it kind of sucks lifting all that stuff that extra little bit higher

But the bigger the lift kit the more badass no doubt about that

If you ever plan on using your truck to tow especially with a 5th wheel I would go with a leveling kit, the f350 is almost to tall stock in back for many trailers.

So now you are basically a F350 with a 2.5 inch lift in front and a good looking one for what it's worth.

Yes, on a very tight turn when I'm against the stops. I'm running a Toyo M/T 35x12.5x20. I tried the new R/T and they didn't rub. So a tire just slightly narrower shouldn't rub. It's because the M/T has the bigger square shoulders and the rubber goes down the sidewall. With some tread wear it will stop. Bought the truck used, PO said they rub for a few months after he got the new tires.
