Suspension Lifts

I am having trouble finding anyone in my area willing or able to sell or install a donahoe suspension lift. Has anyone had any problems with warranty issues with them? Was also looking at superlift and rcd the rcd suspension lift comes with the bilstein shocks. Do any of the advertisers offer any good deals ont the fore mentioned lifts? It is for a 2006 f-350 6.0 diesel. Also i installed a ranch hand front bumper and am waiting on a winch for it. Any possible issues with the extra weight in the front? Thanks for any info.

Not exactly sure but I believe any type of lift will void your factory warranty, if that is the question you are asking. But I have had a great deal of success with procomp suspension lifts but all on post warranty vehicles

Ranch Hand front Bumper? Is that a whole new bumper or like a brush guard?
I was thinking about putting a leveling air lift on my truck still researching them!

Shamrock442, I am a Donahoe dealer. I can have the lift drop shipped to you. Donahoe is the BEST lift availible for your Ford, hands down. They are more expensive than the Pro Comp, but you get what you pay for. Let me know if I can help you.

I understand that Donahoe switched from Bilstein to Edelbrock shocks on their kits this year. They also changed their supplier of springs. Could you verify this information and confirm the new spring manufacturer?
I'm also interested in a Donahoe 4.5" lift for my truck.

I have the Donhoe 2.5" leveling kit on my 2006 F350 and have had it in to the shop a couple times for minor warranty work, with no problems at all. I talked to the tech and he said basically the only thing that will void warranty is a tuner. Also if your going to try the leveling kit, think about installing it yourself. I did with no pryor experience at all, went together fairly well. Saves a ton of cash, just make sure you have a reliable buddy helping out.

Just curious I looked at those Ranch Hand bumpers they are awesome, but I have some concerns. I guess the stock fog lights are useless huh. also I have a plug installed for my engine block heater seen in pics. Do you think that area of the bumper will be left alone if I was to install the new bumper with winch mount.

All my Donahoe Kits use USA made Deaver springs and Donahoe Signurature Series shocks(basically same as Bilstien but with more specific valving per application), or you can order without shocks and we can upgrade to a full reservior i.e. Fox.

We are one of the largest DR distributors and an FTE sponsor. As such we have dealers all over the country who we work with so feel free to contact me and I can probably hook you up with someone in your area. In regard to warranty issues, we do quite a few trucks for our local dealers and have never had a warranty issue. The DR systems are backed by a lifetime warranty as well. Here are a few examples of trucks with DR 4.5" systems with replacement bumpers:
