This article applies to the Ford F-250, F-350 Super Duty (2005-2014)

People just love to lift their F-250s. Sure, the F-150 is a popular truck with a broad aftermarket, but the F-250 offers several benefits when it comes to lift kits that the F-150 doesn't. A different suspension design means F-250s can be lifted higher more easily than the suspension on the F-150. As you might expect, the market is full of options for the Super Duty that needs a lift. We'll take a look at the kits the Ford truck community favors in this article. Keep reading to learn which brand is the best for your beast.

Like Pro Comp, Skyjacker offers a multitude of different options in their lift kits to help you pick out exactly what's best for you. Although you won't see them that much on the road, Skyjacker definitely makes quality lift kits and for those who don't want the same kit as everyone else, this could be perfect for you. Recommended if you want a lift kit that's different from what's popular.

SuperLift should definitely be considered as an option for folk looking to lift their truck on a budget. However, if you have the money, I suggest moving to a different brand. Especially if you want a little extra off road performance. The reviews I've seen for these lifts aren't bad, but they aren't anything special either. Most notably the ride quality is described as being worse than all the other kits available. Recommended if you want to lift your Super Duty on the cheap.

There's a reason Fabtech is one of the most popular brands on the market today. The offer a wide variety of high quality lift kits. They even offer kits that'll change your suspension design. They definitely should be considered when looking for your lift kit. The only downside to Fabtech is that their MSRP price is usually a little higher than the competition. Many places offer discounts, however, so it's not usually a big deal. Recommended if you're willing to spend extra for quality.

Similar to Fabtech, BDS has earned their spot among the top lift kit manufacturers as well. BDS truly shines with their no questions asked warranty, which means when you break something they'll replace it immediately. There's no waiting process to determine if it's covered or not. Their kits are quality and made to outlast your truck, which can be a very, very long time. Their kits are definitely on the priced high end. In this case, however, you definitely get what you pay for. Recommended if you want high quality and a peerless warranty.
