installing a 4.5" lift
I thought I'd share my experience with my new lift kit.I got a 4.5" donahoe hanger kit for my 2000 F350 SD.After spending a couple months reseaching I
decided to spend the extra money up front and do it right the first time.All the
parts supplied are very well built and for the most part installed easy.I had a problem with the new hanger hitting my 4'' exhaust,so I had to be ground
down the top a couple inches,and banged a depression in my exhaust pipe for the bolt to clear.Now the downpipe doesn't rattle on the hanger bolt.
Theres a bunch of odd metric sockets I needed and I'd still be taking the old suspension off if I didn't get a 4' cheater bar.I got a good idea of what tools I
needed by reading urekaboy website,I think he's a member here?
It took me about two days to install everything,mostly by myself,and mostly
in 25 degree alaska weather,on my snowy driveway!!! I guess I finally did something right because the alignment shop said everything checked out straight.I drove the Alcan to phoenix the day after I got the lift all on and
the truck laughed the whole 4500 miles.
