Nice work. I'm thinking of what setup I want. This does appear to be an excellent option!

i know the front springs will settle after a few months so it will hopefully have two inches of rake. right now its a little nose high for me. im worried that when i put a full load of wood, dirt something really heavy in the bed the front will be pointing at the sky.

Truck looks great. I just bought a low mile 07 F350 Diesel and that's the first mod I'm gonna do to it. A nice levelling kit.

So, if you're running 285 75 16's and I'm running 275 70 18's we have close to the same height tire. Maybe mine wouldn't look goofy going up another couple of inches in the front!! I like yours.

I was looking up pics of lifted ext cabs to see what I'd like for wheel package on my truck. And I came across pics I posted when I did my level springs on Google. I reread my posts and thought let me go double check my measurements and post them up so you guys can see how the pro comp springs are holding up. So here we go, tape measure from ground to bottom of wheel well lip's just like before only difference I've changed tires from BFG all to bridgestone revo2 that are brand new...


LF 42" RF 42 1/4"

LR 44" RR 44 1/4"

I'm looking at putting the same springs on my '03 7.3L. You said that the adjustable trac bar was required, correct? I'm looking at replacing the shocks with 2" lift Bilsteins as well.

Actually no the adjustable trac bar wasn't necessary, I had to cut I think 1/2 to 5/8 of an inch off either side so I could get to it short enough after the install. I checked the axle about a year after I did the springs for "settlement" and I turned it a 1/2 turn shorter to realign the hole properly. I installed the trac bar because I plan to do a 4" lift and I wanted to have the adjustability for my future plans and to have the axle centered correctly if the drop brackets were off
