who knows??

ok here is my deal im trying to throw some 37's on the rig and im trying to figure out what i need to do to clear them

so here is my dilemma. superduty told me that to him it looks like a 4 inch lift which i really hope it is cuz then i can throw some blocks on the rear and the front can throw a 2 inch shackle on it and boom 37's

but then i have also heard that i have a 2-2.5 inch leveling kit from what the dealership i got it form told me. then i went to look for tires at the local 4 wheel parts place and the guy there told me it was stock. lol

so a buddy of mine who used to be the main installer at StreetShock shop is going to let me know im going to his house this weekend. i will keep you all posted like you really care lol.

there was a Street Shock in torrance,ca and also i believe there was another one out in the IE. did anyone get there truck lifted from these guys by any chance??

Post pictures of your front and rear suspensions. Springs included.

And i mean if you can fit 35s with a 2inch leveling it.. itd make sense you could fit 37s with a 4inch kit. right?

There's a guy on here with a supercab that has 4" lift and the 37" military tires 35" on mine no lift pretty sure with 4" lift I could put the military 37"s on you have to take into account the tire is not really 37" to begin with when new then factor in wear assuming you are buying them used

Oh my god. Does your truck ride like a tank?? Factory has 2 leafs up front..

You also have shackles. Measure from the 2 bolts to see how much lift they give you. My guess is they are the same as what I have, a lift/level kit.

I think that your shackles and the extra blocks in the rear are part of a leveling kit. I think that added block you have will be 1" and the shackles about 2.5". Thats what mine are if I remember. Then I also think you have a spring lift to compliment that.

I'm running 305/70/16 (about 33").

I'm 1" taller in the back, and leveled. So I think that means my front is 2.5" taller than stock. But yes you have many more leafs than stock in the front. Rear I think it 5 stock.

Your setup looks very similar to mine, and I'm running a 315/75/16, like a 34.5x12.50. I get a very small amount of rub, no way I'd clear 37s without tearing my front fender up. I'm starting to wonder if mine is just a 'leveling' kit.

looks like a stack block on the rear. i would rather see a one piece f350 block. looks like a 250 block w/ 1" block below that. 250 block is 1 7/8" and the 350 block is 3 7/8". i dont like stacked blocks.
