So I ordered the X codes and had them installed at the dealer due to me not having the time or the space (I am on leave from Iraq).

After the install the front twas lifted close to 2 inches but after putting 500 miles on it it seems to have settled to about and inch and a quarter. The rear measures 27" from the center of the axle to the wheel well and the front now measures 24.5" from the center of the axle to the wheel well. I didn't get pre-install measurements but I can see on the shocks about how much it was lifted. But I would like to get measurements from someone who has not lifted there rig just for my curiousity.

I also plan to put the 285's back when I return from my deployment.....hate these small tires.

Before:


and after:


Let me know what you guys think. I went this route since I like having a rake but needed a tiny bit of lift.

nice! I am egger to get mine leveled out

 

i put a leveling kit on mine probably 3.5 yrs ago. and mine has not really settled down that much. i also have a f350 with a 4'' block, so i raised it 2.5''. we measured just 2 days ago and it is still 1.5 inch difference.

 

Does anyone have a measurement for a stock front end? I am just curious since I didnt get a measurement prior to the install....

 

03 f350 measured 23.5" from center of hub to bottom of fender

 

Thanks, that helps confirm that I got about an inch of lift.

Here are a few more pics after it settled out and I removed the topperpics taken up at my in-laws cabin up on Lake Sakakawea south of Garrison, ND)





I havent noticed a significantly stiffer ride but it does ride better than my lifted jeep.
