LOL Now that I look at it may be their there backwards. Nah

 

Here's their Pic of what I thought I bought.

 

did they make any difference? You still running 1.5" spacer?

 

This truck has a 2" lift, and not that I could tell.

 

If I remember correctly, mine look like the ones in the Carli picture. I didn't have any issues with them hitting anything... To be honest I don't think it will really matter though.

 

Ha, you might actually have em on backwards... Still... Don't think it matters.

 

I talked to Carli and they said they need to correct that problem and to remove them or cut the bolts, they could sheer off in a bind.
Took them off and returning them.

 

If I go for removing the block completely is there anything special I would have to do to the leaf or axle to seat it properly or can I just put a new shorter u-bolt in there and tighten it down just as it was (just without the block). I do plan on replacing the bumper above the axle with an airbag eventually as well.

 

BDS or Ready Lift to level the F350? Hearing good things about both. Anyone have any real world experience they want to share? Just can't decide which way to go.

 

I went with the BDS 2" on my 250, still en route and I should have it installed in 3 or 4 weeks, next turnaround.

From a lot of the looking I did, the ride quality was basically unchanged, and a great way to go if you just want to run 35's and have it looking a bit beefier. I went that route as I didn't want to tangle with shock extensions, and wanted proper sized shocks. I also favored the BDS spring spacer, as it sits below the spring on the perch, rather than the ReadyLift TopHat style on top of the spring. Personal Preference.

 

Which one did you get? Did you ad anything extra to your kit? That's exactly what I want. Same ride (rough enough already on a F350) with a beefier look and leveled out. I know little to nothing about what to order. I have a shop lined up for install just a matter of getting the right kit and any ad-ons that are necessary. Thanks.

I didn't add any extra parts. Track bar bracket should correct the axel and that's about it. From everyone I spoke to on here that went that route, they were pleased with the end result.

The other kits have bump stop extensions, sway bar drops and brake line brackets, but all those I've spoken to, including my CAD distributor, say they're not required for the basic 2".

The only thing I'll likely end up doing is getting 4" or 4.5" blocks in the rear to maintain around ~2" of rake. I run bags with the sled deck loaded up, but I didn't want the perfectly even look.

I was going to go with the 2.5" Radius Arm kit, which includes new coils and radius arms, but I dont really offroad, only to get to somewhere to drop my sled off the deck, so I think it would have been overkill for me. It was also a price difference of about 1300 CAD. At that point, the pricing was the same as a 4" lift, but I run my stocker 275/70/18 in the winter, and have no interest in running 37s, so it wasn't too appealing to me.

If I'm not satisfied with the ride I'll certainly ly go that route, bit I don't think I'll have any issues. I just wanted something to get ride of the nose squat look, just off level, that complimented the look of the 35's.

 

Thanks you very much for the information. Looks like I'll be spending some money soon.
