Body Lift?

ATTENTION ALL F-250 DRIVERSSSSS

I have a 2006 f-250 4x4 gasser 😞. I'm trying to body lift my truck and I can't find any that fit my year. I've heard a 2002 body lift will fit but I want to be sure before I buy a 200$ lift I can't use.

Just buy a leveling kit and a f-350 rear block you can get a spacer that goes either under or on top of the front coil spring depending on whose kit you buy body lifts on a super duty are not the way to go. There's a reason you don't see many that have a body lift.

Your truck looks really low to have a leveling kit it maybe it's the angle of the picture the rear block is because when people put a leveling kit on a f-250 the rear end ends up being a little low maybe find a 2.5" leveling kit that has a new spring and take out the spacer that's in there and see what you get it looks like it's at 2wd truck w/ a leveling kit height to me no offense it just looks low I can see yours is 4x4 I don't know what else to tell you but I will keep advising you against doing the body lift.

to the Op: Yes, theres a lot of confusion on superduty body lift kits and very little product availability for later year models.


to the others:

Leveling kits are not body lift kits. a body lift kit will increase the distance between the body and the frame. this is great to do maint and to clean chasis and under bed areas.

Leveling kits just raise the entire truck at the suspension point and does not change the distance between the body and the frame.
