Suspention lifts
I've owned my '06 F250 for 5 months now and I want to lift it. As I am a complete neophyte, are there any recommendations from the community as far as brand? Any best practice things I should be aware of? Thanks!

DR ICON 4.5" with 35" tires is about the best all around height, ride and tire fit for looks and doesn't impact performance, mileage etc. severely.
ICON VEHICLE DYNAMICS Performance Suspension Systems, Coil-Over Shocks, Upper Control Arms, and Lift Kits for Trucks and Suv's
Once you go above that, all bets are off, 37's don't really look right without 6+ inches and those kits affect geometry and wind resistance etc. There isn't many affordable 36" tires on the market Mickey Thompson etc. that have good road manners and will last, Interco Swampers etc.
Call them up they'll tell will confirm the above, but most importantly ride in someone's vehicle that has the look and feel you're searching for before you do anything as doing it once is way better than twice or three times. And the last thing you want is a truck you're not comfortable driving.
