Finally completed the lift install (thanks to Chad at LS Kustoms!), got the wheels on and aligned. Not too bad if I do say so myself!

Wow, looks great! Can you give us some specs like lift size, tire size and wheel size with offset? Thanks!

 

And a side pic!

 

Thank you! Lift is a Superlift 4" - 4 link w/Bilstein shocks. Also, I added a dual steering stabilizer (w/Bilsteins). The tires are Nitto Terra Grappler G2's at 37x13.5x20. The wheels are Ultra Hunter's at 20x10 with -25 offset (lugs 8x170).

As to the lift, I went with their track bar drop bracket rather than a drop pitman arm. My previous experience with drop pitman arm was not enjoyable. The ride is smooth with the G2's and the steering is just as solid as if I had the stock equipment in.

Just ordered Bushwackers for the fenders....the tires stick out too far without them for my taste, but I knew that going in, so I planned for the fender flares.

So far....no rubbing at full lock...BUT...my driveway is a 13 degree grade and I have not backed down it yet. Going straight down the driveway is no problem. I'll post some additional pics when I get the flares on.

As requested...

 

4 inch lift with a stock pitman arm? Yikes.

I like the black rims for sure. Black in black is always cool IMO. Why did you decide to go 13.5 wide? Strictly looks?

 

Funny...I said exactly the same thing to the guys at Superlift regarding the pitman arm! They, however, assured me that the lift the way they designed it works. According to them, they have not had any recalls or customer complaints. I will take a pic of the steering system and post it. I am a noob when it comes to that stuff.

Yes....most definitely like the wider tire for looks. Had a 12.5" on my last truck and, while it was just fine, I just wanted to go wider.

Thanks for the compliments!

What size gearing do you have in your truck and did the shop recalibrate your speedometer?

 

Stock gearing. Thinking of going lower, but haven't decided yet.

Have not calibrated the speedo yet. Will do that tonight.

 

Looking great man! I put bushwackers on mine as well. Are you planning on installing them yourself?

 

Yes sir! Had them on my last F350 as well.

 

10-4. I tried installing mine, after much cussing I decided to let a pro do it. Haha.

Good luck with them, but it sounds like you are not a stranger to putting them on.

 

That's some beautiful country you live in!!
