Determining my lift...
I recently purchased a 2003 F250 SD 5.4. It definitely has some kind of lift kit on it. How do I determine what kind, and how high it is?

Most companies will paint or stamp a part # on their leaf springs. Find that # and do some searching on Google or post it up here...plenty of knowledge floating around here.

Post up some pics and take some measurements at the top of the wheel well or some other static point. I've seen a few other threads with the same question, there might be some measurements in those. I'll dig around and see if I can find a couple.

Here's one thread I came across, (still looking):

Some of the great help I have received on this forum made me believe otherwise.

We'd need to know the size of those tires too.

Can you take a pic of the entire truck?
