Finally got my 01' lifted. Pics inside!

Well, after waiting for backordered rims and tires and the correct pitman arm (they sent the wrong drop pitman in my kit), I finally got to finish my 01'. It's a 6" All Spring Superlift w/ Bilsteins and 35X14.5 Swamper SSR's on 16X10 ProComp 1059's. At the same time, I did the exhaust (5" Mark R.)and guages (Autometer Cobalt Boost/Pyro). Everything went together smooth. Here's some pics!

Man, that is one sweet lookin truck in paradise. Good job. Glad ya didn't end up going with the sag azz look. Nice toys to go with it too.

Did ya do all the work yourself? Hows that exhaust working out for you.

Thanks Tenn!
WA.Ranger (Jeff) recommended SuperLift to me. Was trying to steer clear of the dreaded sag azz look and I saw pics of his truck and was sold. Me and a buddy of mine did the work in his garage. Total time was a lil' over 8 hours (lift, guages, and exhaust). No major headaches except for the wrong parts. Had to wait 5 days for the correct parts!

man that is one helluva sweet looking rig! however those 35's look massive on that lift, are you sure you didnt get a 37" tire combo?


i have 33's on a total 6.5" lift /4" rear and they look like little dinky baloney skins 80% of the time you look at it.

They're 35's alright and tires don't look all that big in person, unknown what actual height is though (I know some tires are taller or smaller than what's marked). Friend of mine has a 06' SD w/ 8" Fabtech and 38" SSR's and my truck is exactly the same height as his. His truck, tires look a bit stuffed though! Can't believe SuperLift recommends 37's for this lift! No way was I going with 37's!

Nice lift man, now I'm debating whether I should go with a 6" or 8" lift when I find the right F250.

Install was cake! Took me and a buddy about 6 1/2 hours to do. Make sure you get the Bilstein shock upgrade, made my truck ride close to stock. It was recommended to me by WA.Ranger as he has the same kit on his rig. Hope this helps!

Super Swamper tires usually run big, sometimes by an inch or more. IE-SS's 35 inch tire can be close to or as big as other's 37. The 14.50 width also makes them look a lot bigger than 12.50s. (Also kills the fuel mileage)

But sweet looking truck.

Edit: Are you running stock gears and if you are how is the power?
