Got a killer deal on a used kit; its been sitting in my basement for a couple months now and I finally found some time to install it...

The install was pretty simple and took me and my Dad about 5-6 hours to put on. The radius arm brackets were the hardest part but wasn''t too bad.

Also for the rear I still have F350 blocks and an AAL... didn't get to install the 5" blocks because the u-bolts I got were too short (probably because of the overload springs)... will have to get a set ordered up this week.

 

Looks great man!

 

Looks good dude!

 

Thanks guys!
The truck rode pretty good with the DR 2.5" setup but it drives awesome now... can't wait to see how it rides on the hunting trails.

 

looks really good...bigger tires in store now?

 

so you left the spacers in along with the longer coils?

love the look


NEED BIGGER MEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Looks nice but your tires don't look like STT's? are they different tires for winter?

 

No spacers on this... the DR 2.5" kit was a set of coils.

Yeah I'm running Nitto Terra Grapplers 295/70R17 (33.5x11) for the winter... they are much better than the STTs on hard packed snow/ice. I'll run the 35s in the summer with some different wheels... not sure what though.

 

Look's great! What do you think about the extra lift? Is difficult getting in/out of the truck? Would you do a 7" Icon lift knowing the height change of the 4.5" Icon lift? Thanks!

 

Thanks! The 2" more really makes a difference in the stance. This setup also addresses the castor issue and improves the handling of the truck over any leveling kits. Even with castor cams I didn't care for the way my truck drove with the 2.5" kit... I'm probably just picky though.

I probably won't go much higher than this... 7" would be HUGE! lol
I have some 1" TEI spacers from Icon and may put those on in the future.

 

You and Bbender need to stop making me and my truck jealous...

 

Jealous? You're truck's a beaut... AND you have a V10.


(You can always install an Icon 4.5" hanger kit...)

 

Glad to hear that you have improved handling with the new Icon lift! I really like the Icon product line and am trying to decide if I want the 4.5" lift w/ 35" tires or the 7" lift with 37" tires. Thanks for the feedback!

 

Wow, really love the look. Makes me want a new truck, with a DR 4.5" of course. Reg cabs always look the best lifted IMO.

 

Wow, fellow reg. cab owners are coming out of the woodwork lol.

I think 4.5" is about the perfect height if you want a good stance and use the truck for work a lot... not too high to get in/out of or load stuff.

That said... it seems lifting is almost an addiction and most guys end up going bigger after a while.
