DR systems are all modular....so you can add and subtract parts to get the exact setup that you want.

And yes, when you order the DR 4.5" 4-link you will want to order shocks, I would recommend the DR shocks.

The 4.5" kit is true front and back correct because i've got a 2.5 coil spacer in mine and truck sits perfect so when i lift her hopefully soon the 2.5 is stayin in and i just need the lift to be the same front and back. I know some kits compensate for the front end drop by offering like a 6 in front/4 out back to make basically a level truck at a 4 inch lift height. Just lookin for feedback from someone who's been there thanks.

The standard DR 4.5" system replaces the stock rear blocks with one piece 5" OE style blocks which provide a level stance. This results in a 4.5/3 on F250s and 4.5/1.375 on F350s. We can also substitute them with 6" blocks if you desire a bit of rake.

Thanks, Storm!

hey overkill, I just talked to the local shop here in palm beach that does alot of lifts on trucks, and they advised me if I wasnt going to change my rims, that I probably shouldnt go with the DR 4.5" lift because of the body sway and tire rub. they basically told me that if I was going to keep the 20s that I should stick w/ just a 2.5" leveling kit.

i agree with most of the people here Donahoe Racing. they seem to be really well built and ride great. They also do come with a pretty hefty price tag...

I went with the DR 4.5" kit also. I arrived this week. A buddy will help me install it next weekend. I will put 35" toyos on 20" KMC Diesels.

I had a hard time picking between the DR 4.5" vs. DR 7". I hope the 4.5" kit will be as high as I want.
