Finally Lifted!!!!
[IMG]
[/IMG] I put the BDS 4" Lift with all new springs. Got 6' in the front and 7' in the rear. The old springs were wore out. 212k on them. Totally different ride holy cow. Should have done long time ago.

Great looking Ex! This give me a great look at what mine will look like when I get the 4" full spring BDS kit on mine in about a month! When you say the ride is different, how is it different? Also, what shocks did you get with the Kit? Thanks for the info, and once again, GREAT looking Ex!

I Went With Bilstein 5100'S. it just Rides Stiffer. I'm Guessing Those Springs work On the F250. More Of A Truck Ride Now. I'm Ok With That. My Old Springs Were Really worn Out. Bottomed Out alot. Lift Was Easy.

Gotta love full leaf suspension, nothing to it but shock bolts, shackle bolts, and possible the trackbar pending height. That and a zillion gallons of PB Blaster if you're doing it later in the truck's life, lol.
Compared to the Jeeps I used to build I'll do an Ex in a heartbeat. No adjustable control arms, pinion angle issues, dual track bars, ugh.
Rig looks great sillyjt, I really like the color and rim combo's. Just need to load up 400lbs in the back for a week to help the rear springs settle faster lol.

What size tires are you running? I pick up my 6" BDS lift tomorrow and have my 37x12.59x17 cooper STT ordered to pick up Saturday.

Very nice looking truck. Is it 4" Ex lift or 4" super duty?
