I am sure I could search through the forum and be able to find the answer, however, I am currently deployed in Iraq, and I only have 30 minutes of time, most of which is writing home. So hopefully, no one will take offense to asking yet another lift and tire question.
When I get home, I want to spend some of my cash and I was thinking of the following.

17" Wheels
35"x12.5" Rubber (probably cooper or BF)
4" Skyjacker lift, maybe 6" if it makes better ride sense

Can all you brainiacs help me with these questions.

1.) Any unforseen problems known with 2003 Super Duty's (i.e. steering box, linkages, driveshaft length).
2.) Best all around combo.
3.) Best lift. Is the skyjacker the best or should I use something else.

Thanks ahead of time for your answers, and I am sorry I didn't have the time to look the answers up myself. Really.

Here take a peek at mine and see what you want to run. The pics are in the gallery. Most of the stuff is in the sig. If you want to off road it, go 6" and 35's and you'll have less clearance issues.

By the way, I'm over in Afghanistan and most of my cash has been going to my pig as well.

 

I am amazed a tab and a reclown can think alike. If it wouldn't bother you, could you give me a rough breakdown on part cost? I know labor will be different, but that is how I wanted mine to be set up.

It ain't bad here. The morons fired 3 RPG's toward us today. I emphasize "towards". One went off and made a crater, one exploded in flight, one went......who knows. Spray and pray retards.

Let me find my little parts cost stuff. I'll PM it to ya.

Here ya go. I'm about to get out of here. Just wanted to blast you a quick copy of the build stuff. E-mail me and I can send you a better copy if you can't read this all. I had to save it as a crappy pic to post it.
