Bigger is Better...
Gosh we talked about this like a year ago it seems like, but it is finally out... Superlift's 10" lift kit for the 99-04's. They use 8" springs and 2" hangers to make it work out.
I wish they had had it out when I got mine..
Just thought I would let y'all know in case anyone was looking at lifting in the near future... By the way, I think it is priced around 2k.

It was in the mags when I ordered my 8" lift but superlift had not sent any to distributers yet, and the impatiant person that I am settled for the 8",
I'm thinking about giving superlift a call and see what it would cost to get the components to upgrade my 8" to a 10" and get the blistiens while I'm at it,

skipped link, what size rims and tires do you have? i am looking at liftin my 03 like yours 8" . i also need to know what backspacing to use. i am lookin at some rims that are 17x10 with 4.5 backspacing. would a 10" wide rim fit a 38 no problem? also it is a ext cab with a short box and 1 piece driveshaft - would that need to be modified? any help or advice would be great. thanks.

IMO, I'd order it without the adjustable bar and without the pitman arm (to get them taken off of the price) and order up crossover and trac bar relocation for better geometry and safety.
I'm glad that I'm running crossover steering and trac bar relocation on my 8.5" lift.....love the way it performs and no extreme angle to the drag link or extreme drop pitman arm to place uneeded stress on the sector shaft. I can turn my 38" PJs easier now than I could my 35" BFGs that I had with the 4" lift.

I run an 8" FabTech lift on my '02 F250 CC (Duel Bilsteins w/reserviours up front).
I run 16.5" Weld "Stone Crushers" with 35x14.5x16.5 Swampers on it. I like the height and ride alot...no wheel rubbing and I've had the front about as twisted as I dare on a few occasions...
Just my 2 pennies worth...
