The way to combat the the lift height issues for the Carli kit for the 7.3 is a PMF 2 or 2.5 lift spacer If you don’t want to run their diesel spring. The rest of their kit is awesome. I don’t understand their logic by using a spring designed for the weight of diesel to be used on a gasser as well. I love my carli products, just not the big coils springs.

No Logic there its just easier and cheaper for them to stock 1 spring. Also remember if you use that spring on a f250 you are going to get around 3.5" of lift out of it , I do agree the rest their stuff is pretty nice.
If anyone is unsure on the height there's also the OUO spacers (adjustable 0-2.5"). I put a set on my 2020 f250 and really liked being able to fine tune to my desired ride height.
If you don't want to look like a "big fro" towing lol, then you will need to have some sort of supplemental spring in the back (air/timbren etc). The problem is, you spend good money to open up that suspension travel and get that front end to move around to ride nice. Then you go to the back and put an off the shelf air suspension kit which has limited stroke, you really take step backwards from where you were heading. To do it correctly you really need the full leafs and Carli long travel bags $$$$. I have the Back Country on the front of my truck and pieced together my own air setup in the back, but the factory F350 springs are just too stiff to pair well with the Carli front end. Those rear springs are nice when it comes to towing, but I do have to air up to prevent having a sagging rear end look. Not sure yet what additional changes I will make to the rear.
If you are going to tow a good bit and don't want the bro look, keep it stock or add some bags.
Good luck.
Which bags did you get? What psi gets you level? How much pin weight when towing?
I'm not understanding the comments about Carli using the same coils on a gasser as they use on a diesel. When the 7.3 came out they developed coils specifically for the gasser. I have them plus the Carli add-a-pack in the rear.

At the time of those posts the Carli gasser springs weren't released yet. The TFL truck was the first truck to recieve their production version of the gasser springs, and that was around June of 2020.

Makes sense! I didn't even think of looking at the post dates.
