Lifting a dually

A couple months back, i posted a topic about lifting an F350 DRW. I got a lot of input about types of lifts and tire combinations. But finally, i can say its been done and i have came back to let the people who helped me with the products i selected for my project.

My project began with a stock F350 DRW. As far as the lift, it has a 6" Fabtech lift in the front and i found a company, Carrier Spring Service, which provided the lifted springs for the rear. That eleminated the need for a rear block kit and they even through in some extra overload springs for free. And the biggest problem i had was finding tires and rims for a dually. i got alot of helpful advice, and im glad to say i went with some Alcoa 22.5 rims with some Hankook 225/70's. Its got a bunch of other toys as well, but i want to thank the people who helped guide me during my searches. Please leave some comments, likes / dislikes or suggestions.

I found the tire/rim kit on ebay for around $3800 which is much less then if ordered from a larger company online. and a comment back to Chief, it is a great feeling driving it around, it gets alot of looks.

Yes, i used 10 lug adapter plates from American Force. But i do know some places have direct bolt-on rims in the 19.5 size.
