I have like 19 threads trying to figure out my plan, so heres my official 4" lift install thread

Now: 2003 F350 6.0L, crew cab long bed. 2.5-3" lower in the front right now, and it has a 2" leveling kit with 285/75/16s



Heres what i think it'll look like lifted (just the front, no way to simulate rear at the same time)



My plan, which turned out to be kind of more expensive than just buying a lift, but it includes parts with all good reviews and that i liked:
-4" front Superlift springs and u bolts, from street side auto = $460 (had a $50 off and free shipping discount code)
-Zone adjustable track bar - $110 from amazon
-BDS drop track bar/drop pitman arm - $235 shipped from Offroad warehouse
-5" Icon rear blocks and u bolts - $260 shipped from KLM performance
-Rancho 7000MT - $290 shipped from amazon, $75 rebate from rancho now also
-Rough country carrier bearing drop - $60 shipped from amazon

May seem random, but i have been reading around for 2 months now almost every night deciding on parts, and this is my final list. Ive also been selling random other truck parts to pay for some of this, so ive only spent around $900 out of pocket right now. Really didnt like how any 4" lift kit was composed, so now i have nice front springs, no stacked rear blocks, and good quality drop components.

Once i save up some money, plan on running some 35x12.5x17 Toyo MTs with Raceline renegade 8 wheels from Rimz one

Plan on installing the rear blocks sometime this week, and hopefully everything else this weekend or next. Stay tuned

 

very cool... be sure to take plenty of pics before/during/after the install

 

Awesome! i bet it will look great, if it comes out really good i might be throwing a 4" lift on my list instead of a leveling kit lol.

 

Cant wait to see Miles
I dont mind a slight rake in the rear myself but i agree yours needs to be leveled, why is the front so saggy (did it ever have a Plow)

I would like about a 4 inch lift but thats out of the question due to the 5'er, but ive been kicking around doing a small one like 2 inch.
The coil spring suspension in my new truck sits up higher than my old leaf spring truck did thankfully & sits quite level so iam happy for now.

 

start soaking everything with PB Blaster now, once a day... trust me it will improve your quality of life on game day! did that on my old truck and didn't have a single stuck bolt.

 

^ been doing it for a week haha. Actually doesn't look too bad, I got the shock bolts off with just a ratchet, old truck neede a breaker bar and heat

 

900 is way cheaper than a 4" kit. And you have top name best parts for these trucks

 

use ALOT of anti seize, my truck comes apart very easy but i make sure to coat every bolt and nut with antiseize when i put her back together

 

I'd rather pay more for quality parts because I'm going to have this truck for a while.

 

That's the best way to do it Looking forward to seeing the final product!

 

Me too! Not happening til next weekend due to some back ordered parts, but have to work this weekend anyway. I'll probably look into some traction bars someday but I don't truck pull/race/etc so not a huge concern

 

I was about to say this.

And perfect!!!

 

Back shocks are on. Couldn't put the fronts on because they would have had less than 1" of travel, lol.

 

what is that on the bed floor? a fifth wheel plate?
