BDS Lift
When I purchased my 2014 F350ccLb srw I had my dealer install a 4" BDS lift kit. After hooking to the 5ver it sagged unbelievably so I took out the rear leaf springs that came with kit and had a local shop amp up my oem springs, worked great. However the truck always seemed to have a bounce about it that I didn't like when empty. So after reading on FTE forum I purchased four Fox 2.0 shocks today, I can't believe the difference, it's like the old shocks that came with the kit were garbage out of the box! Their is no name on them,

I added about eight more leaf springs cut short so they really don't stiffen the ride but act as a spacer block. Then on advice of my spring shop went with larger dia u-bolts to handle the increase in height. Then a little taller tire 235/85/16 14pr

that's what I thought was a block and longer U bolts but you did the small springs and it looks like it worked Looks pretty good
