Lift kit?

I have a 2012 F-250 lariat crew cab with a 6.2L, just bought it about a month ago and wanted to give it a little 2 or 3 inch lift with bigger tires. I know with lifting the truck comes with stress to the front end. Wanted some suggestions

Lift kit?

Just do a 2 inch level and add a 4 inch rear block. Not enough lift to worry about angles too much. You can add some cams to get the alignment right. I'm looking into doing the same thing to mine. I was going to lift higher but don't feel like dealing with the exhaust issues with the front drive shaft.

I personally wouldn't even do the rear unless you tow heavy...and a lot.

Just do a 2-3" up front and have fun. Virtually no stress involved and it's super easy

If you don't add the rear block you'll more then likely be nose high.

just replace your F250 blocks with F350 rear blocks and then a 2" leveling kit to bring the front up.

If the front is already done just add blocks in the rear
