actually is only 3 inches .... and it only rubs at full lock on the radius arms. and even then its not a everytime thing, im guessing it rubs sometimes when the frame is tweaked a certin way.

truck "looks" amazing. now i hate to be the first negitive one here... but, why would u buy a $45K truck and put the costco of all lifts on it! buying a lift that cheap is only gonna cause headaches down the road. as well as prematurely where out components. again sorry for being negitive, but i seen several friends with ruff and tough country, and other cheap lifts and sure enough, after 6 weeks its nothing but new vibrations and $$$

well in all honesty ive had friends with rough country lifts and never had a problem. all i wanted was to "level" it out. it was the most expensive "level" kit out there, I could have gone with the crap from what ebay that is just a spacer for the coil for 60 bucks? I went with this kit because it was a full spring. I installed it myself, I work on these trucks everyday, I know what to look for when Im "playing" with my 46k truck. Ive seen TONS of the 05+ superduties with the spacer level kits and they do not come with trac bar relaction spacers or brackets, do not tell you to relocate brake lines and vacum lines for the hubs. To me it was the most expensive level kit out there compared to what I could have done.
The next size of "lift" was a 4 inch lift kit that was way over priced for what it was. After that 6 inch, I did not feel like wasting my time and money on a lift kit that was too much lift for what I wanted.
and in all honesty if i have new vibrations or what not I can fix them, not worried about that.

Now that's what I'm talking about!!! I'm having a 3" leveling kit put on my "08" 350 before I take delivery of it. The dealer said they can have it done at there favorite custom shop before I even get hold of it. I'm going to research this a bit and make sure they are using a quality kit. I also like the tires, I think I need some of those. You and Bear Hunter have almost got me convinced on the "dark Shadow" color, looks sweet. Can't wait to get mine ordered.
