Question Suspension Lifts

Just fishing on what lifts people are using and which is the most popular I have a 06 F350 Crew larial short bed only upgrades are the mbrp stainless exhaust from turbo back and the air raid intake and has anyone used the 18 inch factory rims after they put there lift on and what tire lift combos are popular. Was thinking of bilstein shocks with the lift havent decided on 4 or 6 inch yet.

alot of people go with DR(danahoe racing) which come with bilstien shocks. I have a pro-comp on mine and like it. Do a search there is a ton of info. also check the superduty forum as there is a ton there too.

I have used just about every manufacturer on the market at one time or another.
My '03 has all Donahoe stuff (8") with Fox Reservoirs. I pretty much try to convince everyone I am doing a truck for to use Donahoe parts, whether it is a leaf spring or coil spring truck. I really have had good luck with both Fox and Bilstein 7100's. I don't think you can get away with running a factory 18" wheel, unless you found some really narrow tire, which may not even be available. These wheels have a lot of backspacing for a factory wheel.

The poll has the info you're looking for and the post #17 and 49 have pics of the different lifts and wheel / tire combos. 17 is 99-04 trucks, 49 is 05+ trucks.
