What kind of lift is this?
I just purchased this truck a few days ago. I really like it but I have no idea what kind of lift it has on it. I was told by the dealership it was a 6" lift. I have a feeling it is a 4" though. I have no idea on how to tell. I know the rear has two 4" blocks under the leaf spring. Let me know if I need to take anymore pics to help identify what I am working with. It is an 03 F350 SRW with the 6.0L. Thanks for the help guys. The wealth of information this site provides is awesome!

I don't ever plan on putting the truck off road. A few gravel and dirt roads but nothing crazy. I really want to maintain the reliability of the truck. I just really like the lifted look. It has 36x14.50s on it. They rub at full turn in the front. Nothing bad but they do rub. It really doesn't have a rough ride at all. Is there a way for me to get another 1" or 2" out of the front to help clear the tires? I am seriously debating on just getting rid of this one and going with the 8" if I can't get those tires to fit.

Where do they rub? Its probably an issue of the wrong wheel offset and not needing more height. 14.5" is a wide tire so you're probably rubbing the leaf springs and need wheels with less backspace. You could put up with it and get some skinnier tires next, or drill and tap the steering bump stops to make an adjustable stop, but that will limit steering.

I'd move to a narrower tire in the future. Several manufacturers offer a 37x12.50 which I plan to run next, another option is to drop to a 35" tire in 12.5 or 13.5" width (305-325). Depending on your gearing since 35s will be a better option if you have stock 3.73s. If you have spring clearance at full lock you could go to a wheel with more backspace and it will give you a little more fender/bumper clearance when turning.
