Whose lift kit is this?
Hi there,a little new to lifted trucks. Bought a 2011 F350 6.7 used out of the U.S.and just trying to figure out which lift kit is on my truck. Been doing a little research and I think it might be a superlift. They use the bilstein shocks with there kit. Any help would be appreciated,seems there's a very knowledgable group of guys on here. I know my truck is a bit of a princess compared to some of the beasts on here,still want to learn more about the sport. Thanks.Here's a few pics of the lift. utf-8BSU1HMDA0MjcuanBn.jpg picture by ninerM1000 - Photobucket

Its hard to tell off just that picture. I did notice the CST and know they do lifts. Ford 4WD F-250 | F-350 CST Performance Suspension - Lift Kit, Lift Spindle, UTV Suspension Kit, Shock, Upper Arm - Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Nissan, Toyota Check out those lifts and see if that helps.

Ok. Checked them out. I do have CST stamp on the steering stabilizers. There kit recommends 35" tires. I'm running 37". There lift is 4.5" in the front and 2" in the rear. I'm pretty sure mine is 6" in the front with 4" blocks in the back.Can't see any markings on the lift arms.

should be fine on the streets, but if you do go out flexing it up or hitting whoops and dunes you are going to mangle some sheet metal. it shouldn't be so bad with the coil and radius setup, but i know for sure the leaf spring trucks kill fenders with small lifts and big tires.
have you taken any measurements at full lock of the steering to see how much clearance you have between the front and rear of the front fenders and the tires????

well the stacked blocks are bad. since its a street ride a block is no big deal if you were going to wheel it hard the block should be replaced for a full leaf spring. you can see the stacked blocks where the silver block sits on the stock spring perch then the lift block on top of it. you should switch the blocks out for one solid block looks like from the pic you would need a 4 or 5 inch block. the stabilizer i am not sure what the big hang up there is most on the market are sold horizontilly all they do is mask steering issues but here is your other option. running a stabilizer that runs with the steering linkage (see pic) the 3rd u-bolt holding the real u-bolts is just stupid tighten the u-bolts appropriatly and its not needed. 2nd pics shows what you need your lift block set up to look like. 1 block and just 2 u-bolts.
