Got it all finished up and cleaned up. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Now I just need to fix the window tint.

I used a mix of parts to suit my needs best. I already had a Carli leveling kit on it, so I went with Carli radius arm drop brackets, One Up Offroad Adjustable Coil Levelers and PMF rear blocks with built in air bag mounts since I still tow heavy. Wheels are Method NV Machined 17x8.5 0 offset/4.75" backspacing. Tires are Toyo MT 37x13.50x17.

how to post pix?

when the drag and drop box pops up, I drop, and the pic is there, but there are no buttons to click from there, I can only click back, then pix is gone and I'm back to the post. I have posted pics on other forums in the past but this one is not working for me, thanks!

I'm not sure exactly how much it is lifted over stock. I've had the Carli leveling kit on it since it was almost new. I think the Carli springs may have sagged a little bit in the 100,000 miles I've had them. The OUO adjustable coil levelers are set at 2.5", so the front might be a total of 4-4.5" higher than stock. The rear is 1.5" higher than a stock F350. It levels it out nicely. The bed still has a slight rake front to back according to my 4' level, but it is very small. I really like how it turned out.
