thanks guys..I called all the major suspension players but Procomp seems to be the only one with a kit on the market ready to rock right now so we have a 6" kit en route which should allow us to put some 37" MT's under the truck

check with the dealer reguarding ANY alterations, mechanical or electrical first.. F.M.C. in canada...has drawn a line in the sand ... 
any alterations/customizing/reprograming included !! (other than sheet metal,and interior trim modifacations.. voids THE ENTIRE WARRANTY. We where told this ( by the current AREA not dealer, service representative.) when I accompanied the plant controller to the local dealership to price out 3 new service trucks. Unless we ordered hd fleet priced/based units, even adding air bags to the rear suspension would kill any service warranty. Engine, drive train, suspension included. We asked about a fifth whell hitch, (WE tow big time), and was told to order a heavier truck than the f 350`s we needed to compensate for need for air bags. And for the plows, we needed to order the super hd plow assist package,( factory installed) otherwise any additional added weight to the front end (plow and wiches) would also negate/void the entire truck warranty! helper springs, and lifts are a no-no up here. Looks like we are getting 4 new dodges to add to the 5 he already has.. just my nickel.... take it for what it`s worth.

DSL is correct. The F350 I posted up a few weeks back on the 20" with 35" MT's is going in for a transformation. Should have photos up late next week.

I DO NOT want the rear of this truck sagging lower than the front as I really detest that look...will I need to look into a leveling kit or will this setup sit level?

we are shooting for a similar overall look as this truck. Can someone with more experience step up here and help me out...does this appear to be an 8" lift? We have a 6" kit on the way obviously but my biggest fear right now is that the rear is going to be hanging low, I really hope this Procomp 6" kit for the 08SD has a nice level lift

I've had two different procomp kits and both sat level. The truck in your pic looks to be a 6" lift with 37" tires, Its kind hard to tell from a picture though. As far as warrenty goes I have had no problems with getting warranty on my lifted trucks. The only exception to that is a u-joint on the rear driveshaft where I offered to pay.

I guess we'll see how she turns out!

Which kit did you get? New radius arms or just drop brackets.
Let's see some pics when it's all done.
