You need to research the kits and find out what each one offers in comparison to what you need. Some have different brand springs, rear blocks or spring packs, some drop the bumpstops, some relocate the steering stabilizer, dropped vs. relocated swaybars, lift height, carrier bearing drop bracket or just shims, coilover conversion or leaf spring, multiple shocks, brake lines included ect, ect. There are TONS of different ways to lift a leaf sprung superduty.
I went with the Rubicon Express 6.5" kit on mine because I felt it was the most complete and well thought out kit available. Other people prefer DR, PC, ect.
Off the top of my head you have Rancho, Rubicon Express, Donahoe Racing, ProComp, Superlift, SkyJacker, Fabtech, Full Throttle, BDS, and I'm sure there's more.
Talk to Marty at Truck Toyz Performance (His member name is Overkill I believe). He sells a lot of lifts and can answer any questions you might have. I bought my 4.5" DR lift and tires from them and was very impressed.
i went with the superlift and im impressed for the price
i have an early 99 and all you do to the rear end is put in a 4" block and i can still throw 4,000 pounds of cement board, tile, and mortar and she keeps on truckin just fine
whitch lift would be best for 2003 f350 to provide factory ride or better,dont want to loose out on towing capabilities. thanks in advance
The DR 4.5" system retains the stock towing capacity. This is a hanger system so there is no increase in spring rate and the system includes vastly superior application specific gas shocks which results in improved ride quality and performance over stock.
Don't mention it. I've read enough of your posts to know you are a straight-up good guy. You've helped many guys, even when you know they are buying somewhere else. When I finally get the money for my lift, it will be a DR lift from your shop

Dr by far not the cheapest but worth the money in the long run, and as far as customer service they are out standing. You really cant go wrong with Donahore racing products.
