Lift Suggestions?

I want to go up a tire size or two with a 1" - 2" lift.

The only thing I can seem to find is the pro comp 2" kit. Is there any other options in the 1" to 2" range?

Any and all ideas or suggestions welcome as I know less than zero about truck suspensions.

Current wheel/tire size: 20 x 9's w/ 33" nitto grapplers


Thanks!!

Nice!!–that is the height I'm looking for. Truck looks great btw.

SO I checked out the product on tuffcountry.com

Confused: Leveling kits only effect the front? i don't get that, the 250's seem to ride level already,wouldn't i need to lift the back as well?...

Thats a good question, my F350 FX4 came factory with blocks in the back. Even with the 2.5 lift in the front the truck is still about 3/4 of an inch high in the rear. I am not sure about the F250.

I think he'd have to get F350 blocks for the rear for that leveling kit

That's correct. He'd need blocks from under or F350 or generic 3" blocks. Trying to get someone to get rid of their 350 blocks is a little hard. I did it to mine and the front still sits a little higher than the back. Really needs a 3 1/2" block but oh well. Runnin 35x12.50-18 Kumho Road Venture M/T with plenty of clearance. Could go a little bigger but would just stuff the fender well.
