Hey guys I bought both sets of springs a while ago, only had time to put the rear in. I already had a 4" lift so it had the 4" or f-350 block in the rear no worries there. I had a brake caliper stick so that was my queue to service the front end and install the springs while I was in there.


I leveled the truck and figured I had enough clearance to take out the old and install the new springs, I didn't realize these springs are so big (I am ok with this). I have the different hangers in the front from the previous owner and I don't have the stock items. So after seeing that the diff is nearly on the ground I will be riding fairly tall in the front and didn't think about brake lines, shocks and I wasn't sure about my u-bolts but I will have a local place make a set.


What does everyone with a bigger lift use for brake lines, I assume SS braided and when you measure for the shocks, do you take a measurement in the hanging position with the diff at its lowest point and then one in the pre-loaded (on the ground position)?


I also know that an adjustable track bar is nice to have, the lift I have has a relocation bracket and a different pitman arm. Is there a cut off when lets say past 6" or ? this all becomes req'd as I know most guys say the front drive shaft is good for 8".


Here's some pics of what I have thanks.
