2" lift. 265 tires. And my new Wells Cargo trailer.

 

Alongside my 2016 F350 wide track.

 

What is that badge above the 6.7L Powerstroke?


With a 2 inch lift, how much does it effect towing capacity and gas mileage? Also, does it void any factory warrenties?


Trucks looks amazing BTW.

 

Above the emblem is my business logo. I don't believe the lift effects warranty. Just go to friendly dealers. I've only ever had one service mgr mention lifts. And they had new lifted trucks on their lot. I lose 1 mpg.

 

Looks great, which lift did you go with?

 

Love it...been waiting for someone to do a lift on a 450. Who makes the lift and how long was the install? Did you keep the stock shocks?

 

I used a Revtek 2" spacer in the front. It came off my '16 srw 350. U can use stock shocks, but they suck..... I took the 0-2" Bilsteins off my '16 and they are night and day better than stock. Even with 40k mi on them.

On the rear I put 5" blocks. You'll need special 450 blocks because the spring pins are bigger. I drilled mine out but it was a pain.

I also put on an ICON adj track bar up front. I bought the 2017 style but had to return it for the 2016 style. Wierd that the 350 and 250 have a redesigned steering system but the 450 doesnt.

You could skip the track bar, but it centers the front axle and keeps the geometry stock. Its small but noticable.

 

 

 

Looks good brandon4

 

265s have been fine. I've carried two skidsteers on my trailer, probably 28k lbs and the tires feel solid.

Have a friend who actually has 285 toyos on his stock rims. He tows a 3 car hauler and doesn't have any trouble. No spacers either.

 

Also I run a 45' Momentum toy hauler and it clears fine. We've towed it from UT to ND, CA, AZ.

Put a train horn on the 450 after driving thru Phoenix. LA is a dream to tow thru. Really is amazing how friendly driver's are there.

 

 

What rims are you using?

 

Any chance we can get some more pics of those two trucks from the side?

Seems that a few guys are running 245's on the stock wheels. Are there any negatives with running 265s or 285's on the stock rims? Is there any space left between rear duals running the 285's?

Thanks.
