lift kit
I have a 2000, 250, sd, crew cab, V10, 4x4.
I am going to put in 16.5 wheels and 35 inch tires. I want to raise the front 2 or 3 inches.
Maybe the rear slightly. What should I do. I found the super lift makes a 2in lift with shackles and leaf hangers, and also track bar drop. Also trail master makes a 3in lift but with no track bar adjustment. Or I could go 3in with a new leaf spring kit. Is there any draw backs from going with the leaf brackerts and hangers?
Thank you for your input.

Caliv10,
I have a 99 250 SC. I went with the 2" Superlift and 35x12.50x16.5 BFG Mud Terrains. I did alot of research on the "leveling kits". I passed on Trailmaster due to lack of a trac bar drop bracket. I passed on Skyjacker since an add a leaf stiffens it up too much, si I decided on the Superlift. Install as very easy.
However, your 2000 F250 has 2 1/2" blocks in the rear, vs. the 3 7/8" ones on the F350s. If you put a 2 or 3" leveling kit on, your truck will sit 1" lover in the rear than the front. I ran into this problem. To solve it, I added an additional 2" block on top of my stock 1 1/2" block. You will need the block and new U bolts(about $50). With this configuration, my truck sits 1" higher in the back than the front.
With the 35s, I have no problems with rubbing.
Excellent combo, I would recommend it.

I decided with the 2" superlift kit for my cc f250.It was fairly easy it did lift it up right at 2 1/4" in the front. But my truck had only 2" blocks in the rear. So I had to put in 1" spacer blocks. It looks level but if you measure it, it's 1/2" higher in the rear which is good. It's definatly the min lift I would want to go with since I have 35" tires on 16.5 wheels. And now I only have about 1 1/2" clearence on the garage door opening. Thanks for the help guys.
