Leveling kit and new tires (pics)

2005 F250 with F350 blocks, Daystar 2 1/2" leveling kit, ProComp ES9000's, ProComp dual steering stabilizer and 325/60R20 (35.5") Dunlop Max Traction's on factory 20" wheels. What do you think? Any suggestions?

Looks great man! Have you noticed it riding differently? I'm thinking about a leveling kit, but I lifted my last truck (a little different I realize) and it ruined the ride.

Thanks alot! It actually rides better than before the lift as I had to replace the factory shocks because they were overextending. The front springs are factory.

How did you know the stock shocks were over extending?

Beautiful truck, I love the light bar. If that was my truck, I'd yank the 4x4 sticker in the back...I think it screws up the lines. But that's a pretty weak recommendation and just my opinion.

Now go get it dirty!

Thanks for the ideas! Immediately after installing the leveling kit I noticed that the front end would make a noise and clunk when the suspension was at full travel (over speed bumps mostly). Replacing the front shocks with 2" longer versions fixed that problem all together.
