Question lift

What would be the eaisest What would be the easiest and cheapest way to lift my 2001 f-350 psd? I only want about 2” front and back ( I like the way it looks and I think that the truck is already high enough for normal people at least.). And I don’t want the front end to be higher than the rear. I like the way my truck sits with a slight slant forward and I want to keep it that way.

What ever u do DO NOT go w/ the Hellwig add-a-leaf like I did! Ya I know, u say, Hellwig, but their weren't that many lifts, especially leveling kits around at the time I bought it. Now my springs are squeaking like crazy at the hangers cause of the binding of the add-a-leaf to the factory leafs. AND they said 1.5-2.5" of lift. Sheeet i only got an inch! Hope it helps.

GO with a hanger kit. Keeps stock ride. Made by edge, fabtech, and i believe bds. There might be a few others, but none come to mind.

What about a body lift not real sure if this would give you the results you want. Someone will come along shortly with more input.

I have heard that a body lift can cause a problems when you carry heavy loads (I think the bed can warp). And I do know that you cannot pull a 5th wheel then. For these reasons and because the Super Duty is so easy to lift, I would never put a body lift on any HD truck unless it was too high for "normal use."

Pro Comp makes 2" front springs, but only for V10s and diesels. I asked a salesman at the 4wheel Jamboree in Indy, he looked it up, and that is what he said.

Keep in mind that you already have a 3.5" block in the rear, do you really want 5.5" of blocks?

I would go with some 2" system up front, then you would still have a bit of a rake.
Do you have the snowplow or camper packages?
