With all of the trees on my place I didn't want to lift it any more than necessary. Oak branches are murder on sheet metal!

also there is about a 3-4" difference in stock ride height if you truck was not ordered w/ the FX4 or snow plow prep package. it will be 3-4" lower in the front end..

I run about 50k miles a year will this affect the annoying factor of driving drone,I just have stock tires and some open country MT's and they sound really good, cant even hear them with windows up, will the bigger tire sound different?

Sorry LV, I didn't catch that you've got the leaf springs up front.
Also, LV, great point on the gears! 4.88's are overkill with the PSD and 35 or 37's. 4.30's would be enough for towing at or beyond the PSD equipped Super Duty's rated capacity with larger tires. Unless you're going to run 54" Interco's....
