Hi, I have a 2000 f250 all stock, I never bought a leveling or lift kit before. I need help or suggestions on picking between a 2.5 leveling kit or a 4 inch lift kit??? Going to get 20" rims and 35 tires.

This is my truck

 

If your set on a 35 in tire go with the 4in kit.

 

I agree. My 02 had an Icon 4.5" lift and 35's. It was perfect for what I used it for. It would do well off-road and still haul our 5th wheel without issues.

 

Ive seen the bds lift kits, are they any good?

 

I have a 4" - 4Link BDS, while I have nothing to compare it to, I'm very happy with it, and they have an outstanding warranty.



Sitting on 20"x10" Wheels & 35x12.5x20 Toyo's.

Did the icon lift come with shocks? the website is a little confusing

Yes it did. I ordered mine from Marty at Truck Lift Kits, Sus*****on Lift Kits, Lift Kits for Truck | Truck Toyz - Truck Toyz Store . They were really easy to deal with and answered all my questions on the phone. Give them a call if you have any questions.

 

How did the Icon ride ??

I have a 4.5 Stage 2 on order..

 

I replied to your other post..

*In no real order*

Carli
Icon
Pure Performance
BDS

FWIW, anything with a 4 link should ride really good..

 

Yikes, just looked at icon, there kit is around $1600 not including shocks. Carli is out- just called they dont make anything before a 05. Pure performance according to their website does not look like they do kits for a 99-04 unless i am just looking in the wrong place.

 

I didn't realize Carli and Pure Performance didn't go that far back sorry about that..

You still have BDS though..

BDS Suspension

 

It's all good, you would think that they would supply those to get all the customers they can.

BDS your right. It is still a good system, and it has a good price compared to icon even icon is a very good product.

 

Those companies I listed are pretty much considered high end stuff..

Not sure what your budget is but check into..

Rancho
Zone Offroad
Sky Jacker
Rough Country

Not sure what all they offer..

 

I know they all have a 4" kits except rancho there is also superlift and pro comp though I don't really recommend pro comp if you have a 5.4. Superlift is the only one that has springs for the specifically for 5.4 v8

 

I think I might stick with bds, its the best bang for the buck and still give a good ride, ya know? Plus for bds even though I have a 5.4 i would order the diesel springs because there rated stronger since I snow plow, If they offer that.
