Looks great. I was thinking of doing the same to my 03 F-250. Did you do anything to the rear suspension?

I have a F250 sd cc swb 4x4 also and am interested in something similar. Not too high, just right for me. How is the ride with the FabTech shocks? I was thinking of going with the Rancho 9000 adjustable for comfort when not pulling my 27' travel trailer. And using stock wheels with same size tires that you have. Any thoughts or suggestions? Where did you get your parts from? and did you look into any other leveling kits? Thanks

Looks gooooood... ....The Fabtech lift is well built. I run 315's on my truck with the 3.5 lift.....just do a little trimming on the plastic front panel.

Looks great! I've been considering getting the 3.5" Fabtech, but was concerned about not retaining the factory crash bar. Looks like everything is still there(thats good). Did you need to buy or fabricate any additional parts?

The best thing about the Fabtech kit, it retains your stock springs and bolts up very nice. RJ can vouch it is a strong piece and bolts right in replacing the factory one. The lift kits that just arch the springs for a small lift of 3.5 are going to give a stiffer ride.

I just installed the 3.5" fabtech kit on my f-250 about 2 weeks ago and am very pleased with everything. I did buy the adjustable trac-bar, not sure if I need it or not but it was easy to install. I posted pics in my gallery. I think I might get a block for the rear from a f-350 just to raise the rear a little. Other than that Its great.
