Yeah, you'll need a longer shock.

Otherwise you just reduced downtravel. Which can make the ride harsh, and limit weight transfer forward, for less braking grip.

Post a pic of the truck after the 4" superlift if you can.

The superlift kits I see all come with shocks and springs. What's the link to the kit you used?

I was thinking about using the 3.5" sst readylift kit on my 2018 f250 6.2L gas, even though they say it won't work - the offroad shops I've talked to said the exhaust just needs to be slightly modified where it gets close to the front driveshaft on the 6.2s.

I do have a set of rear shock extenders .. I just bought all 4 bilstein shocks.. Rears are the only issue as the front spacer on this kit raises everything... including the shock mount..
​​​​​​
Think I can get away with this for now?

Looks good! Do you have power steps or you climbing into that thing manually?

Can you link me to the kit you installed? Did it come with a track bar relocation bracket? How is the alignment after the install?
