lift kit
I have a 05 f250 sd, crew, 4x4, v10 and I am concidering a 4"lift. My question is does the lift affect towing/ handleing? I tow a 30 ft camper and I really don't want to change how it handles. But like the looks of the lifted trucks.

The DR 4.5" system will not affect towing capacity and will retain your stock overload springs. We have quite a few customers who tow on a regular basis with this system without issue.
Here is an example of a DR 4.5" system on 35s:

Marty, with the 4.5" DR and 35's on a '06 F-250, is that too tall to pull a 5th wheel or goose neck? I'm considering going with this setup in the next 12 months or so. Although I don't currently pull a 5th wheel or goose neck, I may have the need some day. I don't won't to make my truck worthless for what it is made to do.
Thanks

When I inquired about the DR kits awhile back(I also have a manual tranny on an 08)I think DCSpecial said they can substitute an adjustable radius arm drop bracket.Is this correct?I will be interested in a 4.5 DR kit down the road aways for my 08.I am also looking to replace rear springs instead of using higher blocks-this wasn't available for the 08's last I checked.My problem is locally noone even knows about DR-and will not install anything they don't sell themselves.
