58" to top of rail, I've always lifted my 350's SRW, I'm not sure im sold on this job however. It doesn't look the same , I did 4" front and rear but having second thoughts that 2" would have been enough. The 450 doesn't squat very much at all. I used blocks in rear, and radius arm drop brackets , away bar drops, trac bar drop stabilizer re locate and heavier longer coils. I'm Gona leave it till after seeding season see if it grows on me more. I'm not sure if I cut 2" off coils , what I should do with all the drops, that's my question. But with 1000km on truck my goodness I'm in love with the big beast

Ok. I was thinking about going up just a touch on mine.
1.5" front
2.25" rear.
I don't want to get too high for the 5er.
And definitely don't want to introduce steering issues. Been there done that.
Not that I need it. And it rides fantastic now.
I love the BFG 34*10.5/17 on it.

Love it.
I had a 2010 Camaro SS. Wife called it fat bottom girl. Now the dually, she said you trying to tell me something. Nope I just like the curves. She smiled.
I almost got the wide track 350 but did not want the 4.3 gears. Now I kinda wish I had it, and just regear it. Love the look of the wide fenders.
No regret though. I love this truck. I'm glad I waited, but man it took a while. Came from a 99 7.3 SRW.
